Some interesting facts are: *This island chain consists of several islands, but only the largest (6 miles wide)is populated.
*The population of this main island is 269. No outsiders are allowed to buy or settle land. All land is communicably owned. Everyone has one of only 7 different surnames,(I've read their are some health issues because of interbreeding- Is this the right word for humans or just animals?) They speak English.
*It was discovered in 1506 by a Portuguese sailor.
*The resident's two main sources of income include a cray fish factory and making and exporting their postage stamps.
*Located in the Atlantic Ocean. {I added this clue last minute: Brent thought it was too hard without giving a general location, and he saw the show.}
Anyone know the name
of this remote island?
Go on, play along. With a little Google search,
you might just come up with the answer.
What's the prize you say?
It's the knowledge that you are smarter than everyone else that guessed!
"Movie Queen" submitted the correct answer first last week.

I have no idea! But keep them coming. I'm really enjoying these trivia questions. It's making me realize that I don't know about lots of places, but oh well. I'm learning from you!
As a geographer I was very disappointed in myself that I have never even HEARD of this place! Sounds awesome though!
No fair - I didn't even get a chance to google. Rip must have nothing better to do. ;) JUST TEASING!!!!!
