Anguilla is a small Tier I island nation located in the Caribbean, North America .
Background
Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory located in the Caribbean. It is one of the most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles, lying east of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and directly north of Saint Martin. The territory consists of the main island of Anguilla, approximately 16 miles long by 3 miles wide at its widest point, along with a number of much smaller islands and cays with no permanent population. The total land area of the territory is 35 square miles, with a population of approximately 15,753 (2021).
The native Arawak name for the island was Malliouhana. The term “Anguilla” is derived from the Italian word for "eel," reflecting the island’s shape. The island was first settled by Indigenous Amerindian peoples who migrated from South America. The earliest Native American artefacts found on Anguilla have been dated to around 1300 BC. The island was colonized by English settlers from Saint Kitts in 1650, and it became a self-governing dependency of the UK.
Today, Anguilla is best known as an upmarket destination for tourists and a haven for the wealthy. Its economy is largely dependent on luxury tourism, offshore banking, lobster fishing, and remittances from emigrants. Despite the challenges posed by natural disasters such as hurricanes, the island continues to thrive and develop.

Strategy
Since Anguilla has no real threats except for the United Kingdom rarely forming the
British Empire, it's an easy country to gather XP and play as. First, you should justify on neighboring islands. You should gather a small navy and start training troops, also using your technology points on infantry damage and defense. Eventually, you should have enough money to make a few electronic factories, which you can use to make electronics and sell to ai nations. If there is no other Carribean player than you should continue annexing carribean islands with forming
West Indies Federation in mind. If there is another Carribean player then ally powerful neighboring countries like
Brazil or the
United States and prepare for war. Train troops with the Jungle Specialization and prepare for a war. You can also produce planes to help with your attack. You should be able to invade the other country with ease. Soon enough you should be able to form
West Indies Federation and gain stability, which can help you in the future. You can start taking countries on the mainland such as various ones in Central America and Northern South America. Then, you can invade the rest of South America, which should make you powerful enough to invade
Mexico, the
United States, and
Canada, or the
North American Union if it was already formed. Then, you should be able to invade the rest of the world, keeping an eye on your War Exhaustion and Stability if you aren't nationalist yet.
