Gibraltarrelated

Gibraltarrelated is a term used to describe topics connected with the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar and its affairs. It covers geography, history, governance, economy, culture, and international relations.

Gibraltar sits at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar. It covers about 6.7 square kilometers and has a population of roughly 34,000. The community is predominantly English-speaking, with Llanito, a blend of English and Spanish, common in daily life.

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory. The UK handles defense and foreign affairs; local government is led by a Chief Minister and a unicameral Parliament, with a Governor representing the crown. The 2006 Constitution expanded self-government. British control began in 1704; the territory was ceded by the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht.

Key sectors include financial services, online gambling regulation, tourism, and shipping. The Gibraltar pound is pegged to the pound sterling and is widely accepted locally. The jurisdiction is noted for its regulatory framework for online gaming that attracts international business.

Notable landmarks include the Rock of Gibraltar, St. Michael's Cave, and the Great Siege Tunnels. The culture blends British and Mediterranean influences, with National Day on September 10 and English as the official language alongside Spanish elements in daily life.

International relations are shaped by ties to Spain and the United Kingdom. Gibraltar is not an EU member; post-Brexit its EU connections are defined through UK policy and bilateral agreements. The Spain–Gibraltar border has historically been a focal point of negotiation.
