Island province

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Island province is a province with jurisdictional extent encompassing the whole land area of an island.

A province cannot be called an "island province" if a certain part of the island is governed or administered by a separate province. Some provinces include several smaller islands.

Some of the recognizable island provinces are:

• Prince Edward Island in Canada
• Easter Island (Islas de Pascua or Rapa Nui) in Chile
• Hainan in China
• Bali in Indonesia
• Cebu in the Philippines
• Jeju-do in South Korea
• Phuket in Thailand
