2021年宣布廢除英國女王伊莉莎白二世的國家元首地位，改制為巴貝多共和國，全國歡慶，知名女星蕾哈娜也在同一天受封「國家英雄」。巴貝多是加勒比地區相對優渥的國家之一，人類發展指數在區域內名列前茅。即便如此，2022年仍受到戰爭和通膨衝擊，影響進口糧食供給。因此巴貝多總統在加勒比共同體和美洲峰會上提倡多個跨國合作項目，包含一個快速的渡輪系統，加快貨物和人員運輸；以蓋亞那為糧食生產中心，並透過巴貝多轉運到其他加共體成員國；提倡新的金融架構，以應對更多如戰爭、自然災害等外部衝擊。近年來巴貝多和中國關係非常密切，中國提供數百萬美元資金給巴貝多的軍隊，亦有專家認為巴貝多離開大英國協將會讓中國有機可乘，擴大在加勒比的影響力。

Barbados is one of the more populous and prosperous Caribbean islands. It has a population of about 290,000, slightly higher than Taiwan's density. The economy of Barbados was dependent on sugarcane export, but it has diversified into the financial and tourism sectors in recent years. Its GDP per capita ranks between the top 50 and 60. It was colonized by the British in 1625 and is still part of the British Commonwealth. In November 2021, the Barbados government removed the Queen as Head of State, breaking its ties with the British royal family. By the way, the US-based singer Rihanna was born and raised in Barbados!
