Grenada is a sovereign tri-island state located at the southern end of the Grenadines in the southeastern Caribbean Sea. It consists of the main island of Grenada and two smaller islands, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, along with several uninhabited islets. Geographically, the islands are of volcanic origin, characterized by a mountainous interior, deeply indented coastlines, and fertile volcanic soil. The highest point is Mount St. Catherine, which rises to 840 meters on the main island. Positioned approximately 160 kilometers north of Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada serves as a gateway between the Windward Islands and the South American continent, maintaining a strategic and ecological link within the Lesser Antilles archipelago.

Administratively, Grenada is divided into six parishes on the main island: Saint George, Saint John, Saint Mark, Saint Patrick, Saint Andrew, and Saint David. The islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique have the status of a dependency, governed as a separate administrative unit to ensure regional representation. Saint George’s, the capital and largest city, is situated on the southwestern coast and is centered around a picturesque horseshoe-shaped harbor. Each parish has its own local identity and economic focus, with Saint George being the hub for tourism and government, while Saint Andrew and Saint David are known for their intensive agricultural production. The local government structure is designed to facilitate decentralized administration across the multi-island state.

The political system of Grenada is a parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy. As a member of the Commonwealth, the British monarch is the recognized head of state, represented locally by a Governor-General. Executive power is vested in the Prime Minister, who serves as the head of government and leads the Cabinet. The Parliament of Grenada is a bicameral legislature consisting of the House of Representatives (15 elected members) and the Senate (13 appointed members). The country has a stable two-party system, primarily dominated by the New National Party (NNP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Since the restoration of constitutional rule in 1984, Grenada has maintained a consistent record of peaceful democratic transitions and electoral integrity.
