基本資料

1492年,哥倫布的船隊抵達加勒比海,明明是新大陸,他卻堅信自己來到東方的印度,開啟了加勒比海島嶼們又印度、又西班牙式的命名。這區域有13個國家,大部分布於大安地列斯群島、背風群島和向風群島,而他們加起來又稱為西印度群島。這13個國家的共同特色如下:

● 多由火山構成,且部分為活火山,有些國家甚至以活火山作為觀光景點。
● 大多是人口少、面積小的島國,有8個國家人口少於40萬。
● 國名常常由兩個島名串在一起,例如聖文森及格瑞納丁︑千里達及托巴哥,或安地卡及巴布達。
● 有數個國家推出「投資移民」法案,賣護照是門好生意。
● 有六個大英國協王國成員,以英國女王為國家元首,並共同使用東加勒比海幣(XCD)

台灣在這個區域有三個邦交國, 簡稱三聖。至於是哪三聖,接下來三週敬請期待!

In 1492, Christopher Columbus made landfall in the Caribbean. The word “Indian” came to be used because Columbus repeatedly expressed the mistaken belief that he had reached the shores of the Indonesian Islands in Asia. There are 13 countries in the Caribbean, mostly scattered across the Greater Antilles, the Leeward Islands, and the Windward Islands. This subregion is also called the West Indies. The 13 countries have some common features:

– They are mostly volcanic islands, including active volcanoes serving as tourism resources for some countries. 

– They have small populations and land areas, and 8 countries have a population of less than 400,000. 

– Many country names are a combination of two islands, such as Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, or Antigua and Barbuda. 

– Several countries have investment immigration policies. Selling citizenship seems to be a good business. 

– Six countries are part of the British Commonwealth, with Queen Elizabeth II being the Head of the Commonwealth, and the currency used the Eastern Caribbean dollar.

Taiwan has three allies in this region, who are nicknamed “the three saints.” As for which three saints, stay tuned in the next three weeks!
