    It depends how big the island is, and whether it’s supported by something else. NZ is a very large place, a country in it’s own right, and is economically independent.

    Your hypothetical island would likely be answerable to another government, and economically reliant on whatever your source of income is.

      Fair enough. Yeah, I thought that maybe there were still small, unclaimed islands out there where you could have a small farm with solar power and shit and be self sufficient.
