I will try to disassemble all the island states of the tropical and equatorial climate with the eyes of a tourist, namely the potential Robinson, but I will not choose any definite. I will not enter such island countries like Australia, New Zealand, Japan, oh. Taiwan, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, the countries of the Caribbean, as well as the states consisting of one populated island - because of my skepticism on the subject of Robinsonads on them. Why is it important to know the form of government in the state? Because some island states are the overseas territories of others large countries, such as United Kingdom, France, New Zealand, USA, India. It follows that control in such countries is much more serious than in independent island states.

What is the atoll? The atoll is a ring coral reef, which is partially or completely surrounding the lagoon.

Corallam has to grow enough quickly to replace parts of the atoll, which are destroyed by erosion so that the atoll remains unchanged.
