->The flag's bar pattern is the Canadian pale (one stripe being half the flag's width). Its blue, yellow and green stripes symbolize the sky and the sea, the Grenadine islands, and the islands' vegetation, respectively. At the center are three green diamonds, alluding to the islands' sobriquet "Gems of the Antilles", and arranged in a "V" formation for Saint Vincent.

The country has a problem with emigration; the high rate of unemployment may have something to do with it. Nevertheless, the tourism has potential of development, even with the frequent natural disasters. The PiratesOfTheCaribbean saga was filmed in the islands.
