Best Answer

The Caribs had a complicated organization to provide leadership in their warlike society. They had hereditary chiefs, nobles and priests, but military leaders were elected.

The ouboutou (or ubutu or obutu), or Great Captain, who was the commander in chief of all the warriors, was elected for his life. He was chosen for his prowess in battle and his great strength, and was treated with the utmost respect.

It depends on which of the islands you look at. Cuba is considered by many a Communist Dictatorship. Many island states are Parliamentary democracies, others - like Haiti - have a Presidential system with much power for the directly elected President, and others again have the status of municipalities of a European country, like French St. Martin or Dutch Saba.
