4 | The Caribbean (locally pronounced ''KARR-ib-ee-an'' but commonly pronounced ''KARR-ib-EE-ən'' or ''kə-RIB-ee-ən'' everywhere else; Spanish: ''el Caribe''; French: ''les Caraïbes''; Dutch: ''de Caraïben''), also known as the West Indies, is the oceanic part of UsefulNotes/NorthAmerica that was once full of {{pirate}}s, slaves, busty women, busty women pirates, and women slaves who may or may not have been busty. (You know, as that [[Ride/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Disney ride]] shows.) |

6 | In the present day, the Caribbean nations are mostly poor[[note]]Not ''that'' poor; the per capita income for each is actually quite high, but the size of the islands combined with the limited area for industrial expansion and reliance on imports doesn't permit more diversification, hence many earn their livings through subsistence jobs.[[/note]] but have a strong tourism industry due to their tropical climate and close proximity to the United States and Canada. |

8 | The Caribbean is typically split into three groups of islands: the Greater Antilles, the Lesser Antilles and the Lucayan Archipelago.[[note]]Though the latter is sometimes geologically considered separate from the Caribbean.[[/note]] UsefulNotes/{{Bermuda}} in Northern America, UsefulNotes/{{Belize}} in Central America and The Guianas in South America are sometimes also included in this region due to close cultural ties, with Belize, UsefulNotes/{{Guyana}} and UsefulNotes/{{Suriname}} even being part of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean_Community CARICOM]], the intergovernmental political and economic union of the region, and it's secretariat being headquartered in Georgetown. In addition, the Spanish and French-speaking countries of the region overlap with UsefulNotes/LatinAmerica. The Caribbean countries are distinct culturally for their prominence of West African and South Asian influence among the populace alongside indigenous Carib, American, British, Spanish, French, Dutch, and even Scandinavian influences. |
