(UTC -6)
Easter Island's nearest inhabited neighbor of any kind is Pitcairn Island, population 50, at 1,289 miles away to the West. The country to which Easter Island belongs is Chile, and they are 2,182 miles away to the East. This does not seem to bother the thousand (or so) stone faces called moai. The moai wait in silence as the years pass.
