St Kitts & Nevis

The Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis is the smallest sovereign state of the Americas (population & area). Two tiny little islands were governed as different states for long time and tensions remain today with smaller Nevis feeling neglected. In 1983 they gained independence from the British and today it is all about tourism.
