Saint Lucia, “Helen of the West Indies”, inspired by the legendary beauty of Helen of Troy, is located in a captivating tropical paradise in the Eastern Caribbean archipelago.

The Island comprises a combination of mountains, tropical rainforests, sandy beaches and low lying lands. The forest is dominated with mountains of wild jasmine and scarlet chenille, while wild orchids provide splashes of colour to the lush green slopes. Just 238 square miles, St Lucia is an unspoilt gem that will leave you breathless. The astounding beauty of its UNESCO World Heritage site, where the two towering volcanic peaks, Gros and Petit Pitons, rise sheer from the sparkling ocean, is truly unparallel. When you explore the stunning coastlines and the unspoilt interiors where parrots and scented blossoms colour the verdant rainforest, you will discover the influences and nuances that hint at St Lucia’s colourful past. St Lucia was originally inhabited by the peaceful Arawak Indians who were subsequently conquered by their old enemies, the fierce Caribs. Columbus was the first European to discover St Lucia in 1499, followed by the British and in 1667 the French arrived. St Lucia was under alternate British and French rule for the next 150 years before it was finally ceded to the British in 1814. In 1838 St Lucia joined the Windward Islands and in 1842 English became the island’s official language. St Lucia moved towards Independence in 1951 when suffrage was granted to all citizens over the age of twenty-one. In 1960, the Island enacted a new constitution with the appointment of the first Ministers of Government. This constitution expired when England granted the Island full self-government in 1967. St Lucia became completely independent in 1979. Although it is a fully independent Nation, it remains a member of the British Commonwealth. western Sahara is administered by morocco and its status is not clear Scotland is a country that is a member of the united kingdom

Answer 3

Saint Lucia is an independent island state and one of the Windward Islands. Named for the Roman Catholic Saint Lucy of Syracuse. It was first visited by Europeans in about the year 1500 and first colonized successfully by France who signed a treaty with the native Carib peoples in 1660. Great Britain then took control of the island from 1663-1667 before going to war with France over it fourteen times. The British finally took complete control of the island in 1814. Representative government came about in 1924 and from 1958 to 1962 the island was a member of The Federation of the West Indies. Lastly, on February 22, 1979 Saint Lucia became an independent state of the Commonwealth of Nations.

Western Sahara, formerly the Spanish colony of Spanish Sahara, is a disputed territory claimed by the Kingdom of Morocco and the Polisario Front. Its legal status remains unresolved.

In order to resolve the sovereignty issue, the United Nations (UN) has attempted to hold a referendum through the mission United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO), and is holding direct talks between the kingdom of Morocco and the Polisario Front.

Scotland definitely is a country.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK,) is a country to the northwest of mainland Europe.

The United Kingdom is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy comprising four constituent countries — England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales — with Elizabeth II as head of state.

St.Lucia is an independent country and an island like dozens of them scattered in the caribbean Sea, an arm of Atlantic Ocean.

Western Sahara formerly Spanish Sahara is an independent country. But it is claimed by Morocco to the north, who have occupied almost half of the country. The country's popultion is only a few lakhs and so is unable to defend. Mauritania in the south and east is a neighbour and Algeria with a tiny border at north east is supporting the territorial integrity of this country.
