Antigua and Barbuda is an independent Commonwealth state in the Eastern Caribbean. Antigua was first discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493 and later became a British settlement. Under Lord Nelson, it became Britain’s main naval base from which it patrolled the West Indies.
Antigua and its flatland topography were well suited to produce its early crops of tobacco, cotton and ginger. The main industry, however, developed into sugar cane farming which lasted for over 200 years. Today Antigua’s key industry is tourism and related service industries. The next largest employer is the financial services industry.
Antigua and Barbuda is a constitutional monarchy with a British style Parliamentary system of Government. The King Charles III has a representative, an appointed Governor-General, representing the King Charles III as the Head of State. The High Court and Court of Appeal are the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court and the Privy Council in London, UK.
