On account of the vastness of the Pacific ocean, there's broad scope for the antipodeal intersection to be outside of any nation state.

Someone (Charles Darwin's son George?) proposed that the Pacific basin was a consequence of the moon being spun off from the Earth, but plate tectonics put an end to that theory.
