(It’s
Island Week 2 here at GSS, which means we’ll mostly be posting
about Islands. For about a week.)

The Pitcairns are a group of four islands:
Pitcairn,
Henderson,
Ducie, and
Oeno, which are all located near New Zealand in the Pacific
Ocean.

The islands are classed as a British overseas territory and have
an official population of just 48, making them the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population_density
least populated jurisdiction in the world.

All 48 of the islands’ inhabitants, who are just 9 different
families, live in
Adamstown on the main island of Pitcairn. Adamstown is
therefore unchallenged as the capital city, and with that title
earns the record for World’s smallest capital
city.

The population is unlikely to rise anytime soon; the islanders
mostly descend from British mutineers of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutiny_on_the_Bounty HMAV
Bounty and only two children have been born in the
last 21 years.
