[167] Island Nations / 島國, 2002
Island nations are countries that are solely comprised of islands. The U.K. and all its overseas islands such as Bermuda, or Japan and its remote Ogasawara islands qualify as island nations, as do the Bahamas. Hawaii, or French Martinique, would not. Besides being desired tourist destinations islands share a disproportionally high crime and incarceration rate. Java’s 140 million constitute the largest single island population.
島嶼國家是指一個國家的領土都是座落於島嶼之上。英國以及其海外屬地（如百慕達），或是日本包括其所屬的小笠原群島，都是島國，而巴哈馬、夏威夷，或法屬馬提尼克島則不是。雖是度假勝地，島嶼的犯罪和監禁率卻是不成比例地高。爪哇島上人口1.4億，是世界上人口最多的單一島嶼。
