Well we would say that the Vatican is a capital without a country as it is called Vatican City.\nSee in\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican_City\nOn the other hand Nauru, a remote island in the Pacific Ocean , is the world's smallest island nation, covering just 21 km² (8.1 sq. mi), the smallest independent republic, and the only nation in the world without an official capital.[1]\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nauru

B.Types of Islands: Low Islands\nLike the high islands, low islands are also further classified into two subgroups: eroded volcanic islands and atolls. The eroded volcanic islands are much like the oceanic, or volcanic, high islands, only they have been eroded to such a point that they are barely above sea level. Examples of these islands include the smaller, lower islands of Hawaii.\n\nAtolls are a series of islands that form a rough ring enclosing a central body of water called a lagoon. The various islets of the ring are called motus and are separated by sea channels that lead into the lagoon. An atoll is continually built upward from an underlying coral reef, itself formed from the skeleton of a tiny, lime-secreting animal called a polyp. Typically, some parts of an atoll are above sea level while other parts remain below. Many scientists believe that atolls were once the fringing reef around volcanic islands that have subsided below the ocean surface. In a subset of atolls, known as raised atolls, geologic action has elevated the coralline limestone above the surrounding sea. Nauru and Niue are examples of raised atolls. Examples of other atolls include most of the Marshalls, Kiribati, Tuvalu, Tokelau, and the Cook Islands. Although most atolls are tiny, some—probably those that once surrounded large volcanic peaks—are quite large. Kwajalein, in the Marshall Islands, is the world’s largest atoll in terms of its diameter around the lagoon, with a length of 130 km (80 mi) and a width of 32 km (20 mi). Kwajalein’s land area, however, is only 16 sq km (6 sq mi). Kiritimati, in Kiribati, is the largest atoll in terms of land area, with a total area of about 390 sq km (150 sq mi).

It is the corruption of Aleut word meaning “great land” or “that which the sea breaks against”.  \n\nHere is the origin of all state names:\nhttp://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0854966.html

By barren, I assume you are thinking of childless women.\n\nThe most famous of these are in Genesis.  Sara, Abram's wife is barren (Gen 16) and gives her servant Hagar to be a surrogate. Ishmael is the result. When at last she is told that she will have her own child, she laughs.(Gen 18) Isaac (literally "Laughing boy") is born.\n\nIn a second case, Jacob has two wives, Leah and Rachael, both of whom are barren and both give their servants to have children (Gen 29-30). Jacob eventually has 12 boys.\n\nIn the Old Testement, misfortune, including being barren was looked at as a punishment from God.

I don't believe there are any.  There are about a dozen islands though.

In the Atlantic Ocean\nOver 11,000 years ago there existed an island nation located in the middle of the Atlantic ocean populated by a noble and powerful race. The people of this land possessed great wealth thanks to the natural resources found throughout their island. The island was a center for trade and commerce. The rulers of this land held sway over the people and land of their own island and well into Europe and Africa.\n\nThis was the island of Atlantis.\n\nFrom Timaeus we know that it was based in the Atlantic Ocean - Opposite the Pillars of Heracles* (Straits of Gibraltar) and that from Atlantis you could reach other islands and then a true continent.\n\nOne of the more likely places would be around the Azores Islands. The Azores are a group of islands belonging to Portugal located about 900 miles (1500 km) west of the Portugese coast. Some people believe the islands are the mountain tops of the sunken continent of Atlantis.\n\nOn the other hand, if you feel that Atlantis was an exaggeration of the historical destruction of Thera and the Minoan empire, then it is found in the Aegean. \n\nThe island of Thera, also known as Santorini, is a volcanic island located due north of Crete in the Aegean Sea. Sometime around 1500 BC is was devasted by a volcanic explosion that may have contributed to the sudden downfall of the Minoan civilization.\n\nBut, if you believe Atlantis was simply a story then it was only located in the long decayed brain of Plato.\n\nFor more exact and expended info check this link \n\nhttp://www.activemind.com/Mysterious/Topics/Atlantis/

The full title is State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations and actually contains an island called, amazingly, Rhode Island (although the more common name for it is Aquidneck Island). And it's called an island because there's more islands in Rhode Island than there are in Hawaii.
