British Territories Today

Over two-thirds of the population of the Falkland Islands has left since the eruption, with a strong cultural identity favoring British governance. Pitcairn, home to descendants of the HMS Bounty mutineers, remains incredibly isolated, while the Chagos archipelago's residents continue to fight for their right to return after being forcibly removed for a military base. The remnants of the British Empire are now small, economically burdensome territories, yet technically, the sun still doesn't set on them.
