[A Quiet Place] What is life like in Japan, Hawaii, New Zealand and other island nations? [Spoilers]

**SPOILERS FOR A QUIET PLACE 2**

Islands are safe from the monsters.

Assuming that no monsters drifted to them, the inhabitants of islands can make all the noise they want in safety. 

With the rest of the world in shambles, what is it like to be the inhabitant of an island sanctuary?

Every nation is tied into international trade. No man is an island, and these days, no island is an island either.

Places with enough agriculture to sustain their population probably crashed a century or two in terms of standards of living - which carries a death sentence for thousands of not millions by itself. (Those dependent on advanced medical care likely perish. Many Hawaiian islands are dependent on oil shipments for power generation. Nobody anywhere drives a car after six months; nobody is getting replacement computers.)

Those places are basically pastoral now. Think medieval level technology with a few exceptions - we know the germ theory of disease, and dental treatments are better.
