Overview <p>Antigua and Barbuda is one of the Caribbean&#039;s most prosperous nations, thanks to its tourism industry and offshore financial services.</p> <p>The country&#039;s strength lies in its tropical climate and good beaches, which have made it popular as a stop-off point for US cruise ships and have attracted large investments in infrastructure.</p> <p>Antigua is the main population centre and the focus for business and tourism. Relatively-undeveloped Barbuda is home to smaller, exclusive resorts and a sanctuary for frigate birds. </p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-18706079">Full Article</a> <p>Canada is the second largest country in the world after Russia. However, its population is only about one-fifth of Russia&#039;s.</p> <p>Nearly 90% of Canadians live within 200km of the border with the United States, which means that Canada contains vast expanses of wilderness to the north.</p> <p>The relationship to its powerful neighbour is a defining factor for Canada. The US and Canada are both each other&#039;s largest trading partner.</p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-16841111">Full Article</a>
