The flag of Cuba

The Republic of Cuba (Spanish: República de Cuba), or Cuba, is an island nation located in the Caribbean, consisting of the main island of Cuba, the smaller island of Isla de la Juventud, and several other smaller islands.

Cuba is located on the northern edge of the Caribbean Sea at the confluence of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Cuba's immediate neighbors are the United States and the Bahamas to the north, the Turks and Caicos Islands and Haiti to the east, Mexico to the west and the Cayman Islands and Jamaica to the south.

After almost 400 years of Spanish and American rule, the country became independent in 1902. In 1933, Sergeant Fulgencio Batista took power. In 1959, a left-wing guerrilla movement led by Fidel Castro seized power. Castro remained in power until 2008, after which power passed to his brother Raúl. In 2013, Miguel Díaz-Canel was elected vice president. He became the country's president after Raúl Castro stepped aside in April 2018.

Bond has visited Cuba in GoldenEye, Die Another Day and No Time to Die.
