   If they are British (about 13% of the population), then they are   
   citizens of the UK living in Gibraltar. The other 87% are not   
   citizens of the UK. Most (79%) are Gibraltarians.   
      
   The same is true of Brits living in countless countries.   
      
   Falkland Islanders all have British citizenship, about 59% are   
   ethnically regarded as Falkland Islanders, while another 20% are   
   of British origin. Others came from St Helena and Chile. There   
   are a few Argentines too.
