These islands are primarily military bases, especially '''Diego Garcia'''. All inhabitants of Diego Garcia were rounded up and expelled to foreign states in 1971, so that the [[UnitedStates/ArmedForces|United States]] could construct a joint military base. Since 2021, small groups of refugees have become marooned on Diego Garcia. They are not recognized as having landed on British soil, so cannot request asylum. An unspecified number remain on the island in a concentration camp as stateless refugees. ---- == British Virgin Islands == TODO: learn some government! ---- == Cayman Islands == TODO: learn some government! ---- == Falkland Islands == TODO: learn some government! ---- == Gibraltar == TODO: learn some government! ---- == Montserrat == TODO: learn some government! ---- == Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands == TODO: learn some government! ---- == Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha == TODO: learn some government! ---- == South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands == TODO: learn some government! ---- == Turks and Caicos Islands == TODO: learn some government! ---- CategoryRicottone
