A British Overseas Territory and a well-known offshore financial haven for international businesses and rich people, the Cayman Islands are a tiny set of islands located in the Greater Antilles in UsefulNotes/TheCaribbean, to the southwest of UsefulNotes/{{Cuba}}. It was formerly part of the Colony of UsefulNotes/{{Jamaica}}, until it split off as its own Crown colony in 1962. The population consists mainly of mulattos, people of mixed African and Caucasian descent (notably, nearly half of Brazil's population are mulattos), followed by an even mix of blacks, whites and other races, and the capital and largest city is Georgetown.

->O land of soft, fresh breezes,
->Of verdant trees so fair
->With the Creator's glory reflected ev'rywhere.
->O sea of palest em'rald,
->Merging to darkest blue,
->When 'ere my thoughts fly Godward,
->I always think of you.

->Dear, verdant island, set
->In blue Caribbean sea,
->I'm coming, coming very soon,
->O beauteous isle, to thee.
->Although I've wandered far,
->My heart enshrines thee yet.
->Homeland! Fair Cayman Isle
->I cannot thee forget

->Away from noise of cities,
->Their fret and carking care,
->With moonbeams' soft caresses,
->Unchecked by garish glare,
->Thy fruit and rarest juices,
->Abundant, rich and free,
->When sweet church bells are chiming,
->My fond heart yearns for thee.

->Dear, verdant island, set
->In blue Caribbean sea,
->I'm coming, coming very soon,
->O beauteous isle, to thee.
->Although I've wandered far,
->My heart enshrines thee yet.
->Homeland! Fair Cayman Isle
->I cannot thee forget

->When tired of all excitement,
->And glam'rous worldly care,
->How sweet thy shores to reach,
->And find a welcome there,
->And when comes on the season,
->Of peace, good will to man,
->'Tis then I love thee best of all,
->Beloved Isle, Cayman!

->Dear, verdant island, set
->In blue Caribbean sea,
->I'm coming, coming very soon,
->O beauteous isle, to thee.
->Although I've wandered far,
->My heart enshrines thee yet.

The territory is a notable Tax Haven, with the government of the Cayman Islands having always relied on indirect and not direct taxes, and never levying income tax, capital gains tax, or any wealth tax. Unfortunately, due to the tropical location of the islands, they are also a huge target for hurricanes, being hit or brushed by one every 2.23 years on average. The nastiest of these was Hurricane Ivan in 2004, which damaged 83% of all buildings on the island, disrupted vital components such as water, communications and power for months, and flooded much of Grand Cayman.

[[AC:The Caymanian Flag]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cayman_islands_flag.png
->Like most other British Overseas Territories, the flag consists of a British Blue Ensign with the Union Flag in the upper left corner and the coat of arms on the right side. The coat of arms use to have a white disc around it, but the disc was removed and the size of the coat of arms increased in 1999, though the disced variant of the flag remains popular and is still used on some official occasions.
