Favorite Island (Grand Theft Auto 4)
Which island do you like best?GTAman
Small (compared to the mainland) areas of land, surrounded on all sides by water.
Hmm, in general I agree, but the question arises, then the port in Los Santos is also attributed to the islands, or what? Somehow unusual all the same.

And now tell me, do the developers themselves call their "archipelago" an archipelago or is it still a city?

There is no mention of the archipelago, because pretend the city is not on islands in the middle of the ocean, but is similar to New York. But why should this prevent us from discussing the city in a way that is convenient?

Oh sure.
GTAman
No, what are you. Once it's all about convenience. And then everything could go to other extremes.
Brock Samson
And then everything could go to other extremes.
And this is not an extreme. We are simply describing what is, not what is supposed to be.

The port is built aground, there is no island there.
He's surrounded by water, that's enough.

No, no, GTAman noticed almost correctly, though with a few reservations.
If you believe the wiki, then the port in the LAN is:
"An artificial island is a stationary hydraulic structure in an open water area (in the seas, lakes, rivers), built from bottom and coastal soils, natural and artificial ice, rock fragments, stone, etc. [1]. Artificial islands are created by man, not by nature. Artificial islands do not have the status of islands and do not have a territorial sea, an exclusive economic zone and a continental shelf. "
It turns out, nevertheless, this is an island, even if it does not have an official status, heheh.
Artificial islands do not have the status of islands
Yes, it turns out that this is noted in paragraph 7 of Article 60 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
