It was once Spanish and named Santiago before the English took over in 1655. In 1962 Jamaica gained independence. Today Jamaica is very diverse with touristy beaches in the north, a considerable cruise ship port in Ocho Rios, relaxed blue mountains in the east and the capital.
Given its size, there is suriprisingly little coverage of Jamaica internationally, except when Usain Bolt is in action.
2'900'000 people + roughly as many living outside the country
GDP / capita (nom/PPP) 5'600 / 9'200 USD
