Worth noting that the Chinese ambassador also called it the Malvinas throughout, not the Falklands.

    the median income on the falkland isles is double that of England. Most people in England are broke as shit but still

    also the UK equivalent of the state dept is the foreign office

      Literally following the link guy posted above indicates fully half of Falkland islanders make $19k or less per year, literally the link dude gave me, but you know what it doesn't even matter because i still don't support Argentina deporting them shrug-outta-hecks

        Amongst 15-64 year olds, the labour force participation rate is 95%, which is amongst the highest in the world, compared to International Labour Organization (ILO) data. The reported average annual income for working-age people in employment was £29,400 (£30,600 in Stanley, £25,600 in Camp). The per capita average income for all individuals aged 16 years and over (working and non-working) is £26,700 (£27,300 in Stanley, £23,500 in Camp).

        The average annual household income in 2021 was reported to be £53,100 (£56,800 in Stanley, £47,000 in Camp); 22% higher than in 2016, in absolute terms.

        it was the average annual household income I was thinking about although I did overestimate the degree to which it was higher
