The Caribbean is a very complex region which is rich in history.

It is where many
inhabitants who reside here have a strong sense of cultural diversity. When
defining the Caribbean, many people can easily refer to the rich cultural
background or the geographical location as to where on the world map it is located.
However, defining the Caribbean in a political perspective can be a lot more
difficult for a small region. Due to a variety of influences from major cultures,
acquiring one standard definition of the Political Caribbean is limited.
Firstly, many Caribbean countries opted for political independence. In the English
speaking Caribbean, only Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago and the Commonwealth of
Dominica are republics where the head of states are no longer monarchies but now,
a president. Barbados on the other hand, is independent and their parliamentary
choices are democratic but the British Monarch remains the official head of state.
A Non English speaking fully independent country is Suriname.
Although Guyana is a republic state, their democracy lies on the structure of
cooperative socialism. This is where the state controls all resources and industries
and distributes them according to the needs of the people. Cuba also has a political
difference where their form of governance is based solely on communism.
Communism is the process where the community controls all resources. They then
contribute and receive based on the abilities and needs.
In contrast to the previous styles of governance where Monarchies arent heads of
states, many Caribbean countries are still colonies and territories of major
influences that once impacted slavery and indenteurship in the region. Anguilla,
Monsteraat, Turks and Caicos, Cayman Islands and Bermuda are all British
Colonies controlled by the British Monarch. External operations functioning as
French bases are Guadelope, Martinique and Cayenne (French Guinana).
