I decided to look more into the Pitcairn Islands. I find it very interesting because they are the least populated country in the world. They only have 54 people living there, making them 238th in the whole world.
Another fact about them is that they are only three tenths the size of Washington, DC. Their total area is 47 square kilometers, making them the 4th smallest country in the world.
The Pitcairn Islands have 0% agricultural land. 75% of the country is forest. There is 0% arable land, 0% permanent crops, and 0% permanent pasture.
The island has occasional tropical cyclones. This is dangerous for the people living there because the island is so small and could be wiped out. They also have occasional landslides.
Their economy exists because of fishing, handicrafts, and mainly postage stamps. They do not have any system of currency and trade essential things. 15 of the 54 residents work, the rest don't do anything.
