The Federation comprises two islands, Nevis and St. Kitts, and the truly appropriate slogan of the local tourism authority is: “Two islands, one paradise”.
The Federation is a member of the United Nations (UN), the British Commonwealth, of the Organization of American States (OAS), CARICOM and various other international organizations. The headquarters of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank is located St. Kitts and maintains the stability of the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (ECD), the national currency of most Eastern Caribbean countries, which is tied to the USA dollar. The head of state is the Queen of England, as St. Kitts and Nevis is a well-functioning democracy based on the British parliamentary system and H.E Minister Timothy Harris is the current Prime Minister.

The St Kitts and Nevis citizenship-by-investment program has been in operation since 1984, allowing foreign investors to acquire citizenship under certain conditions. This makes it the oldest existing citizenship-by-investment program and one of the most reputable.  Applicants obtain an irrevocable St Kitts and Nevis passport without having to reside in the country or renounce their current nationality.
