According to "The Floating Island Theory", a Floating Island is:
Correct answer: C. a ship bearing the national flag of a state
- A. an island within 3 nautical miles from the coast of a country
- B. an island no the high seas, which is not the territory of any particular state
- C. a ship bearing the national flag of a state
- D. None of these
Explanation
In the traditional floating-island analogy, a ship on the high seas is treated as linked to the state whose flag it flies, rather than as territory belonging to the state beneath it. This makes the flag-bearing ship the intended answer.
