The country is a member of the Caribbean Community of CARICOM. The federation, consisting of two islands, combines luxurious beaches, picturesque mountain landscapes, friendly residents from different countries, international entertainment and a rich history.

The Federation has a government Program for granting citizenship to foreigners in exchange for investments, which is the oldest of its kind and has been operating since 1984, attracting wealthy people from all over the world to the islands.
