Antigua and Barbuda (Spanish for "Ancient" and "Bearded") is a small island nation located on the eastern boundary of the Caribbean Sea with the Atlantic Ocean. As its name suggests, it consists of two major islands – Antigua (IPA: /ænˈtiːɡə/) and Barbuda (/bɑrˈbjuːdə/) – as well as a number of smaller islets. All are close neighbours within the middle of the Leeward Islands and roughly 17 degrees north of the equator.
Capital and largest city is St. John's, population: abt. 84.000.
Tourism dominates the economy, accounting for more than half of the GDP. The dual-island nation's agricultural production is focused on the domestic market.
The official language of Antigua and Barbuda is English, but many of the locals speak Antiguan Creole.
The international airport (Vere C. Bird International Airport - ANU) is located on the north-west part of Antigua, 8 km from St. John's. It was an American military base during the Second World War.
