This is what I meant about the Faroe Islands being split into far too many regions Tórshavnar Kommuna verður øgilig — aktuelt.fo

The green part is what Tórshavn region will be. There are already around 18.000 people in it before this. With the additions it will be closer to 20.000 people. Since there are only around 50.000 people in the entire country, a much better alternative would be to have 3 regions. I.e. Streymoy and Vágar in one. The rest on that map in the second. And the rest of the Islands (which aren't already in Tórshavn region) in the third. That would cut normal regional administration cost with probably 70-80% compared to what it is now.

Edit: good thing this is in the lounge. Just looked at the thread title again and this has gone waaayyyy off topic.
