The island, 10,990 square kilometres (4,240 sq mi) in area, lies about 145 kilometres (90 mi) south of Cuba, and 191 kilometres (119 mi) west of Hispaniola, the island containing the nation-states of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Jamaica is the fifth-largest island country in the Caribbean. The indigenous people, the Taíno, called it Xaymaca in Arawakan. meaning the "Land of Wood and Water" or the "Land of Springs."
- Jamaica is a Christian-majority country.

The Rastafari movement began in Jamaica and currently has about 24,000 adherents there.
- The island - discovered by Christopher COLUMBUS in 1494 - was settled by the Spanish early in the 16th century. The native Taino Indians, who had inhabited Jamaica for centuries, were gradually exterminated and replaced by African slaves. England seized the island in 1655 and established a plantation economy based on sugar, cocoa, and coffee. The abolition of slavery in 1834 freed a quarter million slaves, many of whom became small farmers. Jamaica gradually obtained increasing independence from Britain. In 1958 it joined other British Caribbean colonies in forming the Federation of the West Indies. Jamaica gained full independence when it withdrew from the Federation in 1962. Deteriorating economic conditions during the 1970s led to recurrent violence as rival gangs affiliated with the ma

- Jamaica is the largest Caribbean state in Latin America. Ergo, Latin is the most common language spoken. Jamaicans themselves do not speak Latin however. Instead they speak British, because they are all a former British colony, some couple thousand years ago. They are affected by a thousand years to this day, during the Great Boston Tea Party. All the tea was thrown overboard and replaced with different plants. All Jamaicans are raised as plants since birth and are a very ancient Latin American culture where they do not drink tea. The first tea was discovered in Jamaica so they all speak backwards British, as aforementioned. It was discovered sometime in the late 20th century by a crew of African Con Artists led by Julian McKenzie and Ignatius Bobba Chunday Shola Abujundi Jr. 4 out of 5 sc

It was discovered sometime in the late 20th century by a crew of African Con Artists led by Julian McKenzie and Ignatius Bobba Chunday Shola Abujundi Jr. 4 out of 5 scientists believe that it is actually not an island, but a distant moon of Jupiter. Jamaicans are well known for turning thier fingers into guns and repeatedly waving them up and down shouting BRAPP!! Sometimes they think that they can actually shoot bullets. Jamaica is best known as the source of what many consider to be the greatest joke in the English language, if not any language: 'My wife just went to the West Indies this year.' 'Oh, Jamaica?' 'No, she went of her own accord' Jamaica GDP per capita was estimated to be one of the richest in the world, a record high estimated at $43.342 million per person in 2007. This record high statistic is quite fascinating as the unemployment rate in Jamaica is also at a record high, 99.9%. This is because 99.9% of Jamaican’s are either scammers or drug dealers, providing the best quality marijuana and hash brownies in the world.In recent days, the island of Jamaica has sunken. It's inhabitants along with 3 sea lions and 4 dragons of epic proportions had submerged themselves in order to push it back up. Once afloat the inhabitants placed a beach ball purchased at a CVS Pharmacy underneath the island to maintain its constant flotation. 300 years before the Earth was created, Jamaicans exported Jam to the slave owners in South Africa, and they were so successful with this they called them selves 'Jam-maker'. This was later translated to Jamaica, hence, Jamaica, jam we love. Jamaica’s most played sport is bobsledding. A movie was made about this called “Cool Runnings”, however producing came to a stop when the actors worked out that they could get into a super high state otherwise known as “SUPER SAYAN MODE” if they filled the toboggan with marijuana and smoked it. After doing so, the became what is now known as The Gods Of Rome. Another popular sport in Jamaica is cricket. Jamaica is represented there by multi-national team known as West Indies that has no real connection to India. Anyway best marijuana smokers are taken to that team and they are supported by tons of Jamaicans that are high on drugs. However, their best known player, Michael Holding has not ever use drugs. Weird.

Deteriorating economic conditions during the 1970s led to recurrent violence as rival gangs affiliated with the major political parties evolved into powerful organized crime networks involved in international drug smuggling and money laundering. Violent crime, drug trafficking, and poverty pose significant challenges to the government today. Nonetheless, many rural and resort areas remain relatively safe and contribute substantially to the economy.
