It is not in a country. It is an remote volcanic island group with the main island of the same name in the South Atlantic. Is part of the British overseas territories of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan de Cunha also referred to as the British South Atlantic islands. They also have an affiliation with political ties to the Falkland Islands off the Coast of Argentina.
The Tristan de Cunha island group is made up of the inhabited island of Tristan de Cunha, and the uninhabited island of Nightingale, plus the uninhabited wildlife reserves on Gough and Inaccessible Island. The population of Tristan de Cunha is about 270. There is no airport since the volcano takes up most of the island. It is roughly half way between South Africa and South America.
The only settlement on Tristan de Cunha is Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, complete with a school, small hospital, two churches, market store, pub/restaurant, lobster processing plant, Post Office, Library, Police Station, many other necessary services and of course private homes that offer lodging for tourists.
Main industry is lobster fishing and processing with a company from South Africa called Overstone holding the current contract. Sale of stamps, and limited seasonal tourism, are other sources of income with much subsidizing of the island economy by the British Government. It is governed by the United Kingdom.
