Finally, you have the chance to vote for your favourite!

God Save the Queen!

The Falklands!

'The Crown and Empire have been assaulted. We will not bow to the Argentine jackboot'

I voted that they were all spiffing, but the Falklands are pretty good too. Sadly, due to the limitations of the forum, I had to ommit the Pitcairn Islands as well as our sovereign bases in Cyprus. I also had to amalgomate The Falklands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands into one territory. A sad day for the Empire.

Scotland!

For the first time, you have the chance to vote for your favourite!

Errinundera']Scotland!

Yes. A sad, dramatic day, when Scotland picked up and flew away from the British mainland, but terribly exciting nonetheless. Unfortunately, our garish parliament building didn't fall off.

I voted Bermuda because it is the only place I've been that is on the list.

Ah, Bermuda. Where would we be without its tax-free bank accounts and shady financial underworld?

Hey now, don't let a little thing like a land connection get in the way of imagining Scotland as an exotic getaway location. It's just a matter of marketing.

I was firstly tempted to put Falklands etc, for obvious reasons. Then I thought about Gibraltar, and thought how much that seemed to mean to us right now (I hope they dont share with Spanish, its ours!). Bermuda is pretty good, and the others are also. I couldnt decide!

Sure... just make sure you don't film the advert in scotland.

"C'moan tae Scotland, we've goat fish'n'chips and battered marsbars. Braw. Aw that, and the wee yins are never short o' somehin' tae play with

C'moan then ye lazy shite. Whit are ye waitin' fir? Order noo and gaet a free bottol o' bucky when ye arrive.

Scotland. Whit ye lookin at, ya fat fuck.

What I personally would like to see is each of them being made a full constituent part of the United Kingdom, except maybe the base in Syria. Then the Government wouldn't be able to give them to damned foreigners.

France. :p

But seriously, all of them. Having never been to any of them, I can't really choose. Although Gibraltar does earn points for actually asking us Brits to keep ruling them.

Who told you I was a fat fuck?

well, i'm an american. so i love the virgin islands. personally though, i think the bahamas are great (though i haven't been there... yet...). they'd make a lovely territory i think. in case you blokes are ever in financial trouble, you know.:)

The Falklands and all of the other ones want us to keep owning them too, only Blair doesn't care about them because:

(a) No one else claims any of the others except the Falklands.
(b) Trying to give the Falklands back would lead to mass protests and angry relatives of dead war veterans.
(c) Argentina isn't in the EU.

oh, that was just an intuitive guess. That and it's just a friendly colloquial greeting!

i didn't vote for any cuz jersey wasnt there. not technically a BOT but it is over the sea and it is british.

oh and cyprus is great but not the british bits - where they built akrotiri was the last habitat of the pygmy hippo and they just went and built on it anyway with no plan to preserve even a bit of it. pygmy hippos are cool - just think of it, a hippo, but smaller - amazing!

It's only a matter of time.

Who cares? I want more money and/or power.

Is that all that's left? A bunch of islands a an icy wasteland you can't even occupy?

Psst... you really know how to squander an empire.

Aye. Stupid Socialists. Although Bermuda is pretty rich and BAT contains several billion barrels of oil. We should have kept Guyana. Maybe Malaysia. We should also integrate most closely with the Commonwealth.

Psst, America really knows how to take it away from us with harsh economic debts and hatred of 'Imperialism'?

It's going to be a bit difficult getting that oil out of BAT, what with the Antarctic Treaty and Argentina and Chile claiming pretty much the same bit.

If Argentina even dares attempt to get anything from the BAT, we should put them in their place. Damn commies.

Well, they have a few research stations, some people live there permanently, they've had a few births too, and from time to time they send a scientific expedition using military personnel.

The Antarctic Mining Ban treaty expires in 2013, and the new treaty (that will last until 2040) specifically exempts mining or drilling in the sea, which is where all of the accessible despoits are. As for the Argentinians and Chileans - we'll blow them out of the water.

Chuck Norris once visited the Virgin Islands. They are now known as the Islands.

The Channel Islands
