The area is approximately 1,400 km2 (540 sq mi) with a 2015 population of 48,700. The islands are an autonomous country within the Danish kingdom.〔(Faroeislands.fo - Faroe Islands in Brief )〕〔(Norden.org - Facts about the Faroe Islands )〕〔 Between 1035 and 1814, the Faroe Islands were part of the Kingdom of Norway. The 1814 Treaty of Kiel granted Denmark control over the islands, along with two other Norwegian regions: Greenland and Iceland. The Faroe Islands have been a self-governing country within the Danish Realm since 1948. The Faroese have control of most domestic matters; areas that remain the responsibility of Denmark include military defence, police, justice, currency and foreign affairs.〔https://www.retsinformation.dk/Forms/R0710.aspx?id=20991 Retsinformation.dk, Lov om de færøske myndigheders overtagelse af sager og sagsområder (Also called: Overtagelsesloven ''written in Danish'')〕 The Faroe Islands have representation in the Nordic Council as members of the Danish delegation. ==Naming== In Danish, the name ' may reflect an Old Norse word ' (sheep). The morpheme ' represents a plural (with definite article) of ' (island) in Danish. The Danish name thus translates as "the islands of sheep". In Faroese, the name appears as '. ' represents the plural of ', older Faroese for "island", the modern Faroese word for island is ''oyggj''. In English, the name is sometimes spelled "Faeroe".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/faroe+islands )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Faeroe%20Islands )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Faroe Islands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
