Forgotten World (188): Anguilla
Anguilla - an island in the Caribbean with just 13,400 inhabitants- broke away from St Kitts and Nevis and became a British overseas territory in 1980.
Carefully-regulated tourism is the bedrock of the economy. A tropical climate, fine beaches, reefs and turquoise seas lure visitors, many of them from the USA.
Offshore banking is another money-earner. Anguilla, which does not levy personal or corporate income tax, was removed in 2002 from an international list of territories said to be uncooperative in the fight against money-laundering.
