What are islands east to south of Argentina?

Falkland & Cape Verde

East of Argentina are the ISLAS MALVINAS (Falkland in English), Cape Verde are very far away, much futher north, close to the coast of Africa.
Other islands: Isla de los Estados, east of Tierra del Fuego Island, and the southern Atlantic islands of Southern Georgias.
They're called Las Islas Malvinas but that's what they call it in South America, since the british rudely toke them from Argentina and now they're called the Falkland Islands... idiots. I'd like get them from the brits back to the argies but it'd be a bit weird if France randomly started a war against Britain cuz of that.

How does Argentina's government work?

Yes it is. It didn't used to be but Argentina is developing very quick, but that's the last thing you need to be worrying about (if your just visiting) because it's a wonderful country! People want to go to places like America, Spain and the UK just for one or two sites (and the accents) but with Argentina or South America you'll never get bored because it's filled with entertainment. I'm from Chiswick (London) and I'll admit, the UK is a great country but it's way to predictable. If you have the chance to Argentina or South America take it! Because you'll have a great trilling time and it wont disappoint.
