Island province
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
An island province or an island state is a province or state with jurisdictional extent encompassing the whole land area of an island.
A province cannot be called an "island province" if a certain part of the island is governed or administered by a separate province.[according to whom?] Some island provinces include several smaller islands.
