Scenario: this island is cut off from the rest of humanity (magic, war, space alien zoo, etc)

Which island is in the best position to maintain its civilization? Industry? Technology?

    a piece of land surrounded by water.

    The first definition.

    I guess that means continents are islands.

    Does that mean now that we have the Panama canal that North and South America are separate islands?

      The canal’s above sea level, isn’t it? Wouldn’t that just make it a river that goes over the continental divide?

        Depends how pedantic we want to be with the definition I guess.

      a piece of land surrounded by water.

      In that case, it would be Africa, Europe, and Asia, since it’s all connected.
