The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis is located in the eastern Caribbean, approximately 2,000 km south-east of Miami. The Federation comprises two islands: Nevis, with an area of 93.2 sq. km and St.Kitts (St. Christopher), with an area of 168.4 sq.km. The total area is 261.6 sq. km. The islands are of volcanic origin, the territory is highland. The climate is tropical and near-perfect. The population is about 47,000, mainly Mulatto and Black. The capital, Baster, is on St. Kitts island. The official language is English.
Columbus sighted and named Nevis island on his second voyage in 1493. In 1628 Nevis became a British colony. Only in 1983 did the island become independent, when it joined the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. Now Nevis is a member of the British Commonwealth and the United Nations. Nevis is a strong democracy based upon the British parliamentary system with an elected local assembly (one house). The head of state is Her Majesty the Queen of England, represented by the appointed General Governor.
The legal system is based on English Common Law, but the Nevis Business Corporation Ordinance, which was introduced in 1984, incorporates both British and US laws, with the Ordinance drawing heavily on statutes applicable in the US state of Delaware.
