THE BAHAMAS



The Bahamas, officially the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, is an independent, sovereign, English-speaking country consisting of two thousand cays and seven hundred islands that form an archipielago.



It is located in the Atlantic Ocean southeast of the United States; north of Cuba Hispaniola (Dominican Replublic & Haiti) and the Caribbean Sea, and northwest of the Turks and Caicos Islands. It remains a Commonwealth realm.


The Bahamas is a sovereign independent nation. Political and legal traditions closely follow those of the United Kingdom and the Westminster system.


The climate of the Bahamas is subtropical to tropical, and is moderated significantly by the waters of the Gulf Stream.
