Falkland Islands
Politics of the Falkland Islands
The politics of the Falkland Islands takes place in a framework of a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary representative democratic dependency as set out by the constitution, whereby the Governor exercises the duties of head of state in the absence of the monarch and the Chief Executive acts as the head of government, with an elected Legislative Assembly to propose new laws and hold the executive to account.
Culture of the Falkland Islands
The culture of the Falkland Islands is essentially analogous to that of British culture. The Falkland Islands have a large non-native born population, mainly white and from England (and to a much lesser extent, other parts of the British Isles), but also from Saint Helena.
Climate of Falkland Islands
The Falkland Islands have a Maritime Subarctic climate that is very much influenced by the cool South Atlantic ocean and its northerly Patagonian current giving it a narrow annual temperature range.
