The smallest sovereign state in the Americas by population, Saint Kitts and Nevis pairs a federal structure with substantial autonomy for Nevis, which has a constitutional right to secede by referendum. Terrance Drew took office in 2022 after a snap election triggered by a coalition collapse. The country pioneered citizenship-by-investment, which remains its fiscal backbone.
