The Republic of Cuba consists of the island of Cuba (the largest and second-most populous island of the Greater Antilles), Isla de la Juventud and several adjacent small islands. Cuba is located in the northern Caribbean at the confluence of the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Cuba is south of the eastern United States and The Bahamas, west of the Turks and Caicos Islands and Haiti and east of Mexico. The Cayman Islands and Jamaica are to the south. The national flower is Hedychium coronarium J. Koenig, most often known as "flor de mariposa" (Butterfly Flower) and the national bird is "Tocororo" or Cuban Trogon from the family of Trogonidae.[8] Cuba is the most populous insular nation in the Caribbean. Its people, culture and customs draw from several sources including the aboriginal Taíno and Ciboney peoples, the period of Spanish colonialism, the introduction of African slaves, and its proximity to the United States. The name "Cuba" comes from the Taíno language the exact meaning of which is unclear, but may be translated either "where fertile land is abundant" (cubao) or "great place" (coabana). The island has a tropical climate that is moderated by the surrounding waters; however, the warm temperatures of the Caribbean Sea and the fact that the island of Cuba sits across the access to the Gulf of Mexico combine to make Cuba prone to frequent hurricanes. Cuba's main island, at 766 miles (1,233 km) long, is the world's 17th largest.

Apr 10, 2011 - @random777hero jajajaja is that what they told you in school? jajajajja Look I don't know where are you from, but let me tell you if you went to school here in the United States I can tell you that your education and history acknowledge is very poor then, U.S has one the worst education system in the world and they teach u what they want you to know not what you are supposed to know dude..... I went to school in Cuba and here in the United States so i can tell the difference.

Qbano21 Says:

Apr 10, 2011 - @jccp18 Actually that doesn't happen anymore, and I was born in Cuba and trust me Cuba is ten times better than Mexico, not because I was born there is because is true. look how people are getting killed in mexico, many of them are starving. while that doesn't happen in Cuba, In Cuba everybody goes to school, colleges, and don't have to pay for it while if you don't have the money to pay it in Mexico you just can't go to school, so how is that Mexico is better than Cuba?

Qbano21 Says:

Apr 10, 2011 - @jccp18 Freedom of speech is not only what makes a country better than others you are wrong if you think that... there are a lot more factors than that for a Country to be consider better than others and Cuba is way better than Mexico.

random777hero Says:

Apr 11, 2011 - @Qbano21 I was not taught this in school; I looked it up in my own self interest -- the difference being that I took initiative to base my own opinions as opposed to your heavily influenced sentimental opinions (I can see where it comes from i.e Cuban schooling in Cuba) so I can assume you're very patriotic and quick to dismiss different interpretations of history. Nevertheless I'm surprised by your quick attack of my comments despite the fact that I never defaced the Cuba in any of them.

Apr 11, 2011 - @Qbano21 Dude, I dont think you understand the social consequences of a planned economy. Hunger, sanitation issues, jealousy(if everyone supposed to be equal, why does that guy have....X), the list can go on buddy. I've been to Cuba and saw all of these things. In Mexico at least people can talk freely, own property etc. Not saying Mexico is perfect, but the people are in a better situation than Cuba.

Qbano21 Says:

Apr 12, 2011 - @random777hero ok you've been to Cuba, you just visited. I was born there, and lived there for 12 years, there is a difference between visit and live... In Cuba you do own property, everyone in Cuba has a home, and you don't have to wait 30 or 40 years to pay it like 1st world countries. you just buy it and that is it. its yours... my grandmother still have her house there and she lives here in the United States... yes we can't say anything bad about castro that is true. But actually

Qbano21 Says:

Apr 12, 2011 - @random777hero The only thing that people leave Cuba is because of political issues, not because hunger, or freedom, there is more Freedom in Cuba than there is in the united States. I lived there and i Live here and I can tell the difference. for example here in the U.S if you are in your house listening to music and if its so loud the police will come and tell you to shut it down. do you thing that is freedom???? come on!!! in Cuba if you are in your property no one can tell you what to do.

random777hero Says:

Apr 12, 2011 - @Qbano21 I mean come on I don't think thats an acceptable way to define 'freedom' whatever it is. If your blasting music whenever you want, don't you ever consider you may be pissing people off? Its not a matter of a principle of freedom, ppl get pissed=cops get involved. I've been to Cuba twice (Varadero and Cayo Coco), touristy places but heck I went into town and I was not impressed with the living conditions or the quality/quantity of the food the locals ate.

maxmaxnyc05 Says:

May 21, 2011 - If the US is evil why do thousands of people from every country in the world come here for a better life for themselves and thier kids every day? why is Cuba so broke despite being able to trade openly with every single country in the world EXCEPT the US? Why is Venezuela so broke despite being one of the biggest exporters of oil? Because the rulers of some countries blame the US for everything wrong in thier country to divert attention from thier own incompetence. God bless the Cuban people.

hallal55 Says:

May 31, 2011 - @jccp18 so the stories of "you go in the streets" you can get killed, robbed, they have no freedom is false? me and my friends want to go either cuba or mexico which ever cheaper!

jccp18 Says:

May 31, 2011 - @hallal55 Its cool down here,you can get robbed in any city in the world but in Mexico they try to take care of tourist cause they bring money to Mexico,I know alot of White People that live here.All them stories about Drug Cartels are a lie,they dont go around killing innocent people like the media says.Good Luck if you go to Mexico Visit Cancun or Acapulco or Los Mochis or Cabo San Lucas those places have some of the best beaches in the world.

hallal55 Says:

jccp18 Says:

Oct 12, 2011 - @GranKnight87 I think you been watching CNN to much,I live in Mexico and trust me its NOT like the News says it is,most of the cartels kill corruped government officials,cops,and federal agents.Average guys like me and you have nothing to worry about.All that crazy shit happends in Ciudad Juarez but NOT all Mexico is like that.
