Coincidence or not, St. Vincent and the Grenadines also gained it's independence from the British that same year. 1979 was a big year for them. It's population of 100,000 (2012) is a mix between African American, East Indian, Carib People, Mixed Race and White. The population is spread out over its six main towns, Kingstown being it's largest with a population of about 25,500.

Living and Working on St. Vincent and the Grenadines
The process is simpler here than on some of the other islands in the Caribbean. You simply pay a fee and submit a request for the permits along with some basic proofs of ID and statements from your bank and local police departments back home. If you are applying for a work permit longer than the standard 6 month permits issued, you must also apply for a residency permit. The process is even simpler if your coming from a British Commonwealth.
Fitting in, working and living on St. Vincent and the Grenadines will be less of a headache. Keeping with the laid back lifestyles of the Caribbean islands S.V. and the G's (even better band name) have it all. They've managed to protect most of their heritage while growing with the times.
