Here’s the scenario. A group of seven people set off to sail the South Pacific in a 40-foot sailboat (Sloop Rigged for what it’s worth). A bad storm hits, damaging the boat and forcing the captain to seek an island to beach it on to keep from sinking. He finds one; and they manage to land safely; but it’s totally deserted; communication is gone and it appears that they’re going to be on this island for some time.
Politically speaking, who would you want to share this island with and why?
