The Caribbean contains 13 fully independent island nations, plus numerous territories belonging to the United States, United Kingdom, France, and the Netherlands. Cuba is by far the largest island by area, while the Dominican Republic and Haiti share the island of Hispaniola. Tourism, agriculture, and fishing are major economic activities across the region, which is also one of the world's most hurricane-prone areas.
