 The
Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, located in the Leeward
Islands is a unitary island nation in the Caribbean, and the
smallest nation in the Western Hemisphere. The capital-city
and government for the federated state, is mainly on the larger
island of, Saint Kitts (formerly named: Saint Christopher).
The smaller state of Nevis (formerly named: Nuestra Señora
de las Nieves) lies about 3km southeast of Saint Kitts. Historically
the British dependency of Anguilla was also a part of this
union, which was then known collectively as Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla.
