Geography & terrain
A chain of volcanic islands in the eastern Caribbean, with a mountainous, forested main island (dominated by the active La Soufrière volcano) and dozens of much smaller, flatter islets to the south. Tropical climate with a hurricane season. The scattered island geography makes the country as a whole hard to fully control from one point, but each island is small and coastal, offering little depth against a determined naval force.
