Antigua and Barbuda

Antigua and Barbuda is a small nation in the Caribbean, consisting of two main islands and several smaller ones. It is part of the Commonwealth Realm, meaning it recognizes the British monarch as its ceremonial head of state. The country operates as an independent nation with its own government and constitution. Antigua and Barbuda gained independence from Britain in 1981 but maintains a connection to the Commonwealth, which includes shared values like democracy and cooperation among member countries. The islands are known for their beautiful beaches and tourism-driven economy.
