Which European country includes the autonomous Faroe Islands within its realm? Denmark. The Faroe Islands are a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, alongside Denmark proper and Greenland.
The islands came under Danish rule through the historical Danish-Norwegian union and were formally ceded to Denmark in 1814 by the Treaty of Kiel. Their modern autonomy began with the Home Rule Act of 1948, which gave the Faroese authorities extensive control over domestic affairs.
The Faroese government manages most internal matters, while Denmark retains responsibility for areas including military defence, policing, justice, and currency. Foreign affairs are shared, and the islands can conduct some independent trade-policy activities. The Faroes are not part of the European Union, despite their connection to Denmark.
The Faroe Islands are therefore not an independent sovereign country, nor are they part of Iceland or Norway today. They have their own language, parliament, flag, and, in some sports, national teams, while remaining within the Danish realm.
