On Compass about 15 years ago I remember Roger interviewing a gentleman from the Isle of Man about life as a small island dependency. It seemed like a very sensible idea for PEI as well.

Nearly all of these islands are not full-fledged countries, but rather, self-governing polities associated with much larger and wealthier countries. Even nominally-independent states like Nauru or the Federated States of Micronesia are closely tied to patrons like Australia or the United States.
