St Kitts

The capital city and headquarters of government for the federated state is on the larger island of Saint Kitts. The smaller state of Nevis lies about 2 miles (3 km) southeast of Saint Kitts, across a shallow channel called "The Narrows".

Historically, the British dependency of Anguilla was also a part of this union, then known collectively as Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla.

Saint Kitts and Nevis are geographically part of the Leeward Islands. To the north-northwest lie the islands of Saint Eustatius, Saba, Saint Barthélemy, and Saint Martin. To the northeast are Antigua and Barbuda, and to the southeast is the small uninhabited island of Redonda, and the island of Montserrat, which currently has an active volcano.

Saint Kitts and Nevis were amongst the first islands in the Caribbean to be settled by Europeans, with Saint Kitts having the distinction of being home to both the first British and French colonies in the Caribbean. Saint Kitts and Nevis is also the smallest nation on Earth to ever host a World Cup event, after being one of the host venues of the 2007 Cricket World Cup.
