Exceptionally kind lad's fans - all from a British overseas territory (8,7)

I believe the answer is:

falkland islands

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a british overseas territory' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'exceptionally kind lad's fans all' is the wordplay.
'exceptionally' indicates an anagram.
'kind'+'lads'+'fans'+'all'='kindladsfansall'
'kindladsfansall' anagrammed gives 'FALKLAND ISLANDS'.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for falkland islands that I've seen is " British possession in the South Atlantic".)
