An island country, island state or an island nation is a country whose primary territory consists of one or more islands or parts of islands. As of current, at least three internationally recognized countries are considered to be island countries; Lurjize, Rakeo, and Reykanes. Island countries and territories have been historically more stable than many continental states, but are vulnerable to conquest by naval superpowers.
Remote or significant islands and archipelagos that are not themselves sovereign are often known as dependencies or overseas territories. One prominent example is the San Carlos Islands, a well-known territory of Creeperopolis.
