Saint Lucia is an island in the eastern Caribbean, part of the Lesser Antilles and one of the Windward Islands. It is north of Trinidad and Tobago and south of Martinique. The estimated population is 161,000 people. While English is the official language, French patois is also spoken.
The government is a parliamentary democracy and St. Lucia is a Commonwealth realm. The chief of state is the monarch of England, with a governor general as the monarch’s representative and appointed by the monarch. The head of government is a prime minister. In 1979, Saint Lucia became an independent state of the British Commonwealth of Nations.
Tourism is the mainstay of St. Lucia’s economy and the largest source of employment. The island has a mountainous terrain with hills leading up to active volcanoes. Tourist attractions include many sandy beaches, rain forests and walking trails. Scuba diving and sailing can be found almost anywhere. St. Lucia’s culture is a reflection of West Indian life with its unique cuisine and reggae music.
