Grenada is a small island nation in the Caribbean, comprising the main island of Grenada plus Carriacou, Petite Martinique, and several smaller islands of the Grenadines. Famous for its spice production, particularly nutmeg and mace, it became independent from British rule in 1974. The country is governed as a constitutional monarchy with King Charles III as head of state, represented by a Governor-General, while the Prime Minister leads the elected government.

Grenada is a Caribbean island nation located in the eastern Caribbean Sea, forming part of the Windward Islands archipelago. The country consists of the island of Grenada itself along with smaller islands including Carriacou and Petite Martinique, and several tiny islands to the north that belong to the Grenadines chain. Historically inhabited by indigenous Carib peoples, the island was colonized by the French in 1649 before being ceded to Britain in 1763. Following a period as an Associated State, Grenada achieved full independence in 1974, becoming a constitutional monarchy within the Commonwealth of Nations. The country is renowned globally for its spice production, earning the moniker 'Island of Spice' due to its significant nutmeg and mace exports.
