Sure there are. There are still lots of islands and territories on earth without inhabitants, names, potable water, life-giving resources like plants or arable lands, or are just plainly not suited for habitation because of inclement climate. In fact, many of these lands have not been mapped as yet.

Do you think nations will just grab these lands or territories under such horrid conditions? Probably not. These nations -powerful or wealthy as they are - have too many problems at the homefront to deal with to waste their time and resources on unusable territories. Added-value work - that's the name of the game, my friend.

Now, on to solving many of our more pressing national problems: aids epidemic, poverty, hunger, war-ravaged
neighboring nations, famine ......... ad infinitum, ad infiniturm,
ad infinitum!

Lots of islands in the Pacific are not associated with any country. Of course, they also have no resources or fresh water--but if you're looking for your own kingdom, go for it!
