This is Run Island in Indonesia.
In 1667 it was swapped for what other (and much more well known) island?
The first new player to comment on the website with the correct answer wins a free drink at their next iQ Trivia show.

Got asked this only a few weeks ago at the other trivia night I attend!
So unless the answer has completely changed… It’s Manhattan!
It is Manhattan, which is both larger in terms of area and FAR more populous than Run Island (and has a lot more economic activity not to mention a livelier bar scene.)
I think at the time though they weren’t happy because Run island had natural resources that were highly sought after… Spices or something…
It seems that financial services now count for more than spices though.
