Why would a country need an island that is unpopulated with no

Usually for increasing your sea borders.

And hopefully natural resources.

Better to have it, and not need it, than need it, and not have it.

Really its quite stupid how a country can claim jurisdiction over places where nobody lives, or really just claim it over villages and towns who never asked for it

Hey guys I found this rock in the sea while I was up north.

Who does it belong to?

If it needed to be inhabited they'd just pay people to live there.

Does this help you in constructing a border wall?

France has the best unpopulated islands in the world. This allows them to have 12 times zones and the biggest EEZ in the world
