Makes sense, as a geographical location I imagine it has had many names over history based on who controls the narrative. Can I ask what other names there are for the area that isn't supportive of British colonialism?

You can call us the South Eastern Icelandic archipelago if you'd like. Or the British and Irish islands.

Thank you, British and Irish Islands seems like it would be more easily understood by the general populous. When I hear South Eastern Icelandic Archipelago, I get a bit geographically turned around because I'm an idiot and I picture Iceland near Greenland which is near Canada, and I picture Ireland near England which is near France, so in my tiny brain Ireland and Iceland are a whole ocean apart (even though paleo-geographically, it's the same soil)

I was more joking with that one to be fair but yeah just include Ireland in the terminology and you're good. It is better than the implication that we are a part of Britain.
