I didn't realize French territory is so widespread.

So if the U.K. ever complies with the UN and the ICJ and relinquishes control of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, the sun will set on the British empire, but not on France.

That'll be funny as fuck and I hope France never misses an opportunity to point it out.
