"A Beer, an Airline, and a Football Team " a Faroe Islands Travel Page by travelfrosch

“You can’t have a real country unless you have a beer and an airline — it helps if you have some kind of a football team... but at the very least you need a beer.” — Frank Zappa

On this page, I will provide evidence the Faroe Islands fit the definition of a real country (as specified by noted national sovereignty expert Frank Zappa).

Exhibit A: The Faroes has its own beer brewery. Föroya Bjór produces an assortment of surprisingly good brews. My favorites were the Black Sheep Ale and the Green Islands Stout (shown above).

Exhibit B: Atlantic Airways. The Faroese national airline, based at Vágar Airport, serves an impressive number of countries, including Iceland, Denmark, Norway, and the United Kingdom.

Exhibit C: The Faroes have a football team. The Faroese National Team participates in international matches all around Europe. Here's a glimpse of their home stadium.

There you have it: The Faroe Islands qualify as a real country. QED.
