flag: Falkland Islands
This is the flag emoji for the Falkland Islands, located in the South Atlantic Ocean. It's known as a paradise for wildlife, including penguins.
These islands are one of the UK's overseas territories. That's why the British flag is included in its design. You can use it when talking about nature documentaries or unique travel destinations.
The use of this flag can be politically sensitive. This is because there is a sovereignty dispute between the UK and Argentina over the islands. In Argentina, these islands are called the "Malvinas."
The sheep on the flag's shield symbolizes sheep farming, which was a major industry in the region, while the ship represents the 'Desire,' the English exploration vessel said to have first discovered the islands in the 16th century. As you can see, a single flag contains the region's history and economy.
