Trinidad and Tobago
A twin-island republic off the northeastern coast of Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago is the Caribbean's leading energy producer, with significant oil and natural gas reserves. The capital Port of Spain on Trinidad hosts one of the world's greatest Carnival celebrations. Tobago offers a quieter, tourism-focused complement. The country's calypso, steelpan, and soca music are globally influential cultural exports.
