St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Disputed between France and the United Kingdom in the 18th century, Saint Vincent was ceded to the latter in 1783. Autonomy was granted in 1969 and independence in 1979.
Location: Caribbean, islands between the Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean, north of Trinidad and Tobago

As I recall, St Vincent and the Grenadines, even though they are independent, still belong to the CommonWealth of Nations, which means the Queen is still head of State. Her rule is carried out through a Governor General, but his role is mostly cermonial, with the elected Prime Minister and Parliament controlling the laws of the land. Does this mean that the country is financially supported by the Queen, if need be?
A Vincentian boasted to me that St. Vincent has the best houses in the Caribbean. I looked at the island on Youtube and the scenery of the island looks spectacular. Anyone can confirm? He said that he found that Trinidad has poor housing stock.
