Antigua and Barbuda

As of my last update, the richest person in Antigua and Barbuda is often considered to be Sir Allen Stanford, a former financier and sponsor of cricket, though his wealth has fluctuated dramatically due to legal issues and the collapse of his financial empire. However, it is important to note that wealth rankings can change frequently, and there may be other wealthy individuals in Antigua whose fortunes are less publicized. For the most current information, it's best to consult recent financial news sources.

Antigua and Barbuda became one nation on November 1, 1981, when it gained independence from the United Kingdom. The two islands had been part of the British Caribbean territory and were previously administered together as a single colony. Since independence, they have operated as a sovereign nation with a shared government and constitution.

The enslaved people in Antigua, West Indies, primarily came from various regions in West and Central Africa. They were forcibly transported through the transatlantic slave trade to work on sugar plantations. Many were captured during wars or raids, while others were sold into slavery by local tribes or European traders. This diverse African heritage greatly influenced the culture and society of Antigua.

The national dress of Antigua and Barbuda is called the "Madras." This colorful and patterned fabric is often used to create traditional garments, particularly for women, who typically wear it as a dress or skirt paired with a blouse. Madras reflects the island's rich cultural heritage and is often worn during national celebrations and festivals.

Of course it depends where in UK, and by what route you travel. The 'common' sailing route is to Portsmouth with a brief stop in Azores (for example Horta). Using this route, I calculate the shortest possible sailing route to be 3550 nm (or 6590 km). If you just want to know the shortest straight line distance then it is 3330 nm (6160 km) from St John's, Antigua to Lands End, UK. (I excluded any of the UK islands since the calculation becomes quite complicated!).

The Prime Minister and Foreign Minister is The Honorable (Winston) Baldwin Spencer.

The Arawaks called the Antigua and Barbuda Wa'ladli, the Caribs called it Wa'omoni. Most commonly known as Wadadli.
