Saint Lucia is an island country in the eastern Caribbean on the boundary with the Atlantic Ocean. Part of the Lesser Antilles, it is located north/northeast of the island of Saint Vincent, northwest of Barbados and south of Martinique. A former British colony, it gained independence in 1979, and became part of the Commonwealth.
Like many island nations, Saint Lucia was not invaded by the Race's Conquest Fleet in 1942, and so retained its independence after the Peace of Cairo in 1944.[1]
