<strong>Antigua and Barbuda best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by James in NZ</i><br/>Depends what you think is interesting. Here's a handful of unusual facts:
- Despite being settled by the British and very briefly controlled by the French, a significant proportion of the population is of Portuguese descent.
- Although its population is only about 90,000, many of the world's best cricket players have come from Antigua, including Sir Vivian Richards, regarded as one of the sport's greatest-ever players.
- Despite having a free, two-party electoral system, one party - the Antigua Labour Party - formed the government for 45 years from 1949 to 1994 - the longest time one party had controlled any Caribbean country with a multi-party political system.
- The island of Barbuda is half the size of the island of Antigua, yet has a very small population. More than 95% of the country's people live on Antigua.</p>
