An Island Nation is a country that is entirely surrounded by water, typically consisting of one or more islands. These nations often have unique ecosystems and cultures shaped by their isolation. Examples include Japan, New Zealand, and Maldives, each with distinct traditions and histories influenced by their maritime environments. Island nations often rely heavily on tourism and fishing for their economies, given their natural beauty and rich marine life. They face challenges such as climate change and rising sea levels, which threaten their very existence. Preservation of their unique cultures and environments is crucial for their future sustainability.
