Besides the two main islands, the biggest of the islets surrounding them is Redonda ("Rounded one"), named so by UsefulNotes/ChristopherColumbus because from his POV it was, well, round (if he had circled it a bit more, he would have realized it's not that round). The island is completely uninhabited and yet it's very popular, not so much by the country but by the Kingdom of Redonda, a micronation whose foundation history lies in legends. The kingdom not only has three different claimants because of it, but it has also "ennobled" many famous writers, actors, directors and others.

Nowadays, 91 percent of Antigua and Barbuda is African, descendants of slaves. Recently they have asked for reparations for their ancestors' enslavement.\\
Most of the population is in Antigua, by the way. The name of the country is Spanish for "Ancient and bearded".

Besides the two main islands, there are a bunch of tiny islets around the place. The biggest one of them is Redonda ("Rounded one"), named so by Columbus because from his POV it was, well, round (if he had circled it a bit more, he would have realized it's not that round).

(In case you don't know, Like most of the ''official'' queen Caribbean, the country is prone to hurricanes. Hurricane Luis of Redonda, 1995 caused damage totaling $350 million. Hurricane Irma of 2017 completely wrecked Barbuda and actually caused its ''entire'' population of some 1,800 people to evacuate to Antigua, leaving the whole country, island uninhabited for the first time in 300 years. However, by 2019, most of them have returned.
