-Population:  34.90 million
-IC:  86
-BP:  13.0
-Revenue:  $120.90

Heavily industrialized along the coasts and in the Cordillera.  Agricluture along the coast includes sugar, cacao, coffee, bananas, wheat, and cotton, while much cattle ranching in the interior Llanos.  Mining includes coal, gold, iron, emeralds, silver, and diamonds; hydrocarbons recently found around Maracaibo Lake but not yet in commercial production.  Darien Canal transects the Darien Isthmus.  Major naval bases at Cartagena and Esmeraldas; minor bases at San Miguelito, Colon, La Guaira, Ciudad Jorge.

Antilia Mayor:

-Historical Cuba, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, San Andres and San Felipe (the latter two hist. Colombian)
-Population:  8.16 million, approximately half Norman (Jamaican)
-IC:  22
-BP:  3
-Revenue:  $30.16

-Jamaica a heavily industrialized island (18 IC, 3 BP), compared to Cuba, which is a "breadbasket" rich in agricultural products such as sugar, coffee, and tobacco, along with beef and fish.  Cayman Islands primarily relies on fishing and limited tourism; administered from Jamaica.  Major Naval bases at Cromwell [Kingstown] and Havana; minor naval base at Montego Bay.

Antilia Menor:

Guayana Francesa

-Historical French Guiana
-Population:  0.25 million
-IC:  0
-BP:  0
-Revenue:  $0.05

-Population:  0.02 million
-IC:  0
-BP:  0
-Revenue:  $0.00
