South Atlantic Co-Dominion (Caroline Era)

The South Atlantic Co-Dominion, sometimes simply known as the Co-Dominion, is a series of islands in the South Atlantic: the Falklands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands administered jointly by the governments of Argentina and the Federated Kingdom of Great Britain and the Islands. It was set up on 1st January, 1975 after the UK complied with UN Resolution 3160 to enter negotiations with Argentina on the sovereignty of the islands, thereby avoiding possible conflict, largely over possible nearby oil reserves. The arrangement is similar to the previous arrangement between the UK and China regarding Hong Kong in that there is a ninety-nine year term for the agreement, but different in that there is joint "ownership" of the territory. Since the advent of readily available solar power sources, the matter of oil has become irrelevant.
