Just after the Queen of England died, Antigua and Barbuda stabbed her in the back, saying that they would break away from the Commonwealth within three years and embrace the thighs of the United States.
Antigua and Barbuda's position on Earth
Antigua and Barbuda is an island nation in the Caribbean Sea, consisting of Antigua, Barbuda and the uninhabited island of Redonda. The island's territory is only 442.6 square kilometers, and the population is only 98,000 people, most of whom are of African descent, who are the descendants of black slaves who were trafficked by the British.
The natural harbor of St. John's
The capital of Antigua and Barbuda is St. John's, with a population of 29,000 people, a natural port, and airports to North America, Europe and the Caribbean. However, due to the country's weak agricultural base and lack of decent industry, it relies only on tourism to survive, and the economic risk tolerance is relatively poor.
The country's GDP per capita is relatively high, reaching $17,790. However, this does not mean that the country's standard of living is high, because the country has a lot of wealthy immigrants from abroad, who have become citizens of Antigua and Barbuda to avoid taxes, which has boosted the country's economy and per capita GDP. In addition, the currency used in the country is called the East Caribbean Dollar, which is the common currency of several former British colonial countries in the country.

Antigua and Barbuda was a British colony from 1667 until 1981, when it became an independent state. According to the Constitution at the time of independence, Antigua and Barbuda was a Commonwealth state headed by the Queen of England, with the Governor-General exercising state power on her behalf. Now that the Queen has just died, Antigua and Barbuda are ready to change their courts.
Mount Obama
In fact, this country is not to blame, after all, the main tourists in Antigua and Barbuda are from the United States, and they often receive assistance from the United States. In order to establish good relations with the United States, in August 2009, the country renamed the country's tallest mountain, Boji Peak, "Mount Obama", which means that the president of the United States shines on the land of Antigua and Barbuda. Although the country's highest peak is less than 400 meters, it already overlooks the entire island.

In addition to tourism, offshore finance and the online "spinach" industry are also the main sources of income for Antigua and Barbuda. Many foreign companies choose to register in Antigua and Barbuda. For example, the mainland "domestic vaccine" Kexing Bio is registered in Antigua and Barbuda, and the main shareholders are Cisco of the United States, SoftBank of Japan, Universal Capital of the United States, Zurich of Switzerland and so on. That is to say, Kexing earns 300 million yuan per day, and 250 million yuan must be distributed to foreign capital.

Although the country is small, there are also regular armies. The Royal Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force is the country's main military force, with 350 active personnel and 2,500 reserves. I just don't know who these armies can fight and whose invasion they can prevent, perhaps just to maintain local law and order.
The British Royal Family
With regard to the secession from the Commonwealth, the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda stated that this was the last step towards the independence of the country, and only secession from the Commonwealth would represent a state with full independent sovereignty. Obviously, this is just a pretense, sovereignty has always been played by strength, and for such a small country, there are only advantages and no harms in throwing themselves under the Commonwealth. Now the country has proposed to secede from the British Commonwealth for only one purpose, that is, to change the court and join the United States.
Just poor Britain, the 56 members of the Commonwealth in its heyday, now there are only 14. If antigua and Barbuda were to break away, perhaps more members would follow suit, and eventually the Commonwealth might die in name only.
