Have you heard of it?

Welcome to the 'Let's Know about Countries' series. In my last post, I had posted about the first country to see the sunrise. This country is in the Caribbean and it is an island country. An Island Country is a country that has one or more islands or parts of islands. In 2011, 46 (around 24%) of the 193 UN (United Nations) member states are island countries. New Zealand is an island country which has more than one island.
