I kinda figure Gilligan's Island was an uncharted desert isle, and it was 1.5 hrs away from port, since it was supposed to be a 3 hour tour, a 3 hour tour, that it *might* have been inside US territorial waters. But since the weather started moving in and the tiny ship was tossed, the Minnow may have drifted into international waters. And since they were likely the first people to set foot on it, I suppose they could claim it for either the US, since the Minnow was flagged in the US, or for themselves? Either way, the Skipper was probably still in command, so he'd be the king, or Presidente, or whatever. That would make Gilligan the vice president. After that, the pax were going to be the serfs. The first thing the dictators would have done would be to disarm the passengers, and then separate them into individual huts. The Professor seemed to be a troublemaker, since he could invent things with coconuts, so either he'd be made an example of and left for the buzzards, or they'd have to keep him locked in the box. Mr and Mrs Howell would pay off the crew so they could live in relative ease. That would just leave the girls, Ginger and Mary Ann. Oh, how they must have suffered at the hands of the two rulers.
