* How come we didn't get an extra mission at the end where Jason goes after Doug, the guy who got them captured by the pirates (who was even working with them)? I get that Jason might feel that enough blood was spilled and everything, but would he really be ok with letting him off after everything him and his friends went through because of him? (This is all assuming that the ending where Jason and his friends leave the island is the canon one)

** Well, with all the violent people (whether native or pirate) and aggressive wildlife (again, native or imported), it's possible that whatever country owns it just doesn't see it as valuable enough to ever check up on. The population is small and poor, so the tax money they could collect if they tried might not even cover the expenses of visiting, considering they'd need a military escort. And while the pirates are a huge threat on the islands themselves, we don't know much about how they act in the surrounding area. They seem to make their money off human trafficking and drugs, which are despicable, but not necessarily an immediate threat to the local maritime economy.

*** The Japanese soldiers on the Rook Islands didn't receive the orders. Their radio operator, General Tadao, sabotaged the radio equipment in a fit of despair after receiving news of [[spoiler:the bomb dropped on Hiroshima]] and writes about it in his two Letters of the Lost. Another letter from another soldier describes how the writer did commit seppuku after word finally did reach them, but there are no dates attached. The soldiers might have found out about it any time between 1945 and a few years before the events of the game, for all we know, and a thousand arms smugglers could have easily run AKs through the area and been ambushed by the remaining Japanese forces.
