The Faroe Islands is an archipelago between Iceland and Norway. The area is approximately 1,400 km2 (540 sq mi) with a 2010 population of 50,000. Between 1035 and 1814, the Faroe Islands were part of the Kingdom of Norway. The 1814 Treaty of Kiel granted Denmark control over the islands. In 1973 the Faroe Islands declined to join Denmark in entering the European Community (now the European Union). Here the winters are mild (mean temperature 3.0 to 4.0 °C or 37 to 39 °F) while summers are cool (mean temperature 9.5 to 10.5 °C or 49 to 51 °F). The nominal GDP is $50,300 per capita.
