The word "insular" derives from the Latin "insula" meaning island. Some countries are literally islands, such as Great Britain, Madagascar, Cuba, Iceland, and many others. There are also countries which are only insular in a metaphorical sense, of being culturally isolated. North Korea is the best example of that.
