Cuba

Cuba is the largest, most populous, and strongest country in the Caribbean.
== History ==
The island of Cuba was inhabited by numerous American tribes prior to the landing of explorer Christopher Columbus in 1492, who claimed it for the Kingdom of Spain. Cuba remained a colony of Spain until the Spanish–American War of 1898, after which it gained nominal independence as a de facto U.S. protectorate in 1902. The fragile republic endured increasingly radical politics and social strife, and despite efforts to strengthen its democratic system, Cuba came under the dictatorship of former president Fulgencio Batista in 1952. Growing unrest and instability led to Batista's ousting in January 1959 by the July 26 movement, which afterwards established a government under the leadership of Fidel Castro. Since 1965 the country has been governed as a single-party state by the Communist Party.
Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean, and with over 11 million inhabitants, is the second-most populous after Hispaniola, albeit with a much lower population density for the region. It is a multi-ethnic country whose people, culture and customs derive from diverse origins, including the aboriginal Taínoand Ciboney peoples, the long period of Spanish colonialism, the introduction of African slaves, and a close relationship with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
Cuba today is the only remaining Marxist-Leninist state to receive a "very high" human development ranking from the United Nations, and ranks well in measures of health and education.

What could happen in the future of Cuba is uncertain. It might be dragged into a war, then later annexed by America, or some other country. But that is for someone else to decide, not me.

In the future, Cuba will Take over the Caribbean, and soon land in Africa, making colonies, and more factories and find resources.
