About
Trinidad & Tobago
The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is a nation in the southern
Caribbean Sea, situated 11 km (7 miles) off the coast of Venezuela.
It is an archipelagic state consisting of two main islands,
Trinidad and Tobago, and 21 smaller islands. The larger and more
populated island is Trinidad, while Tobago is smaller (303 square
kilometres; about 6% of the total area) and less populous (50,000
people; 4% of the total population). Citizens are officially
called Trinidadians or Tobagonians or Citizens of Trinidad and
Tobago, but are informally referred to as Trinis or Trinbagonians.
Unlike most of the English-speaking Caribbean, Trinidad and
Tobago is a primarily industrialised country whose economy is
based on petroleum and petrochemicals. People of Indian and African
descent make up almost 80% of the population, while the remainder
are mostly mixed race with small European, Chinese and Syrian-Lebanese
minorities. Trinidad and Tobago is famous for its pre-Lenten
Carnival and as the birthplace of steelpan and limbo.
