牙買加
位於加勒比海的島國。人類發展指數在加勒比地區略顯落後,但仍列為高人類發展地區。近年來推動「願景2030」發展計畫,希望可以藉由國際資金,促進農業、製造業、旅遊業等產業的發展。特別的是,因為牙買加2015年落實醫用大麻合法化,所以這個發展計畫也將藥用植物和大麻產業列在重點開發項目。或許是受到巴貝多的影響,2022年牙買加政府宣布準備在2025年之前取消英國女王的國家元首地位,成為下一個共和制國家。全國約有60%的民眾支持此一想法。
看2022位於加勒比海的島國,曾為英國和西班牙的殖民地,現為大英國協王國成員。經濟仰賴鋁土、蔗糖和旅遊業,人均GDP約5,100美元。近年來國債過高,政府表示正在積極削減債務,包含與中國合作的許多投資案。國內治安欠佳,謀殺率高達全球前五名。田徑成績聞名世界,該國知名男子短跑選手「閃電波特」被稱為地球上最快的男人。
