The Caribbean, as a dataset

Twenty-nine territories, a dozen currencies, four working languages and one clock that is wrong for half the year if you hardcode it. This is the map Fete Labs builds against — and it is the same dataset that drives FetePASS, so an island that exists here exists there.

Regional priority

Three territories where the lab is closest to the ground. Same work everywhere; faster here.

Every territory

Grouped by bloc, because the bloc is what decides whether a regional guide applies, and because neither CARICOM nor the ECCU passports an authorisation across its members.

Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States

Members and associate members of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States. Eight of these are on the EC dollar at a 2.70 peg; two are French territories on the euro.

CARICOM (full member)

Full CARICOM members outside the OECS grouping above. Four currencies, three of them floating. That is the case that breaks a product built on a pegged island.

Wider Caribbean basin

The wider basin: the Dutch Caribbean, the US and British territories, the Spanish-speaking Greater Antilles and the French collectivities. The widest spread of currency, language and law on this page.

Why a page per territory. Because the differences are real and they are in the code: a currency that floats where its neighbour is pegged, a time zone that observes daylight saving where the rest of the region does not, a language a product has to ship in. A page that said the same thing twenty-nine times over would be worth nothing to you and nothing to a search engine.
