Answer 2

They're an autonomous province of the Kingdom of Denmark - like Greenland, and with a similar autonomous status.

Answer 3

They are an autonomous part of Denmark.

Answer 4

The Faroe Islands are a part of the Danish realm along with Greenland, therefore I would say they're a part of Scandinavia.

Answer 5

They have been an autonomous province of the Kingdom of Denmark since 1948, making it a member of the Rigsfællesskab (United Kingdom of Denmark). The Faroese have, over the years, taken control of most matters except defence (though they have a native coast guard), foreign affairs and the legal system. These three areas are the responsibility of Denmark.

The Faroes have close traditional ties to Iceland, Shetland, Orkney, the Outer Hebrides and Greenland. The archipelago was politically detached from Norway in 1814. The Faroes are represented in the Nordic Council as a part of the Danish delegation.

In the twentieth century, Faroese became the official language and since the Faroes are a part of the Danish realm Danish is taught in schools as a compulsory second language.
