Depends what you mean by remote control. Distance from another country? Far from the mainland? Far from centers of civilization?
My vote would be to Easter Island. A part of in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, not in the archipelago.
If you want to leave your neighbors, there are a number of islands around Antarctica to choose. Make your choice - Isla Drygalski? Heard Iceland? Peter I Iceland? One of the French islands in the south of the island of Amsterdam?
Manned or unmanned?
It is certainly somewhere
Tristan da Cunha
