If it’s utter peace and quiet you’re after, then head to Barbuda, the lesser-known of the two islands. It feels untouched by progress, with the principal inhabitants being the graceful frigate birds. Arawaks introduced agriculture to Antigua and Barbuda, raising, among other crops, the famous Antiguan "Black" pineapple. They also cultivated various other foods including: corn sweet potatoes (White with firmer flesh than the bright orange "sweet potato" used in the United States.) chiles guava tobacco cotton Some of the vegetables listed, such as corn and sweet potatoes, still play an important role in Antiguan cuisine.

The islands of Antigua and Barbuda form a small nation whose strategic importance is greater than its size. Located at the outer curve of the Leeward Islands, Antigua and Barbuda are well placed for strategic defense of the Caribbean against outside forces. The prime minister chooses a Cabinet to help run government agencies in Antigua and Barbuda. The island nation has a two-house Parliament elected by the people.
