I have a question about the fun fact. Trying to better understand it. If I were rich enough to buy an island and move to it, would that be the new last place to be settled by humans? If no, why not. And if yes, then surely there's at least one example of someone doing that since the 13th century.

It depends how big the island is, and whether it's supported by something else. NZ is a very large place, a country in it's own right, and is economically independent.

Your hypothetical island would likely be answerable to another government, and economically reliant on whatever your source of income is.

Fair enough. Yeah, I thought that maybe there were still small, unclaimed islands out there where you could have a small farm with solar power and shit and be self sufficient.
