The Bermuda Islands, better known as Bermuda, consist of 138 islands, many of which are uninhabited, covering little more than 20 square miles (52 sq. kilometers) in total. Bermuda is located off the Eastern US coast but belongs to the United Kingdom. Twenty-nine percent of the population residing in the island at any time is made up of foreigners, as Bermuda is an important international business center and the base point for many investors and offshore trade accounts. Bermuda has the highest GDP in the world, with a median of $76,403 US Dollars (USD) per capita.

Bermuda has a long history of strange happenings. When it was first discovered by Spanish explorers in 1503, Bermuda was dubbed "Isle of Devils" because of strange animal callings that could be heard on the island but were never pinned to any specific species. Stormy weather also caused the wreck of many ships approaching Bermuda, which led to the legend of sea creatures and evil spirits living in the vicinity of the islands. Despite its name, the infamous Bermuda Triangle is not exactly situated off the island. In fact, most of the accidents and disappearances have occurred close to the Bahamas rather than to Bermuda.

Bermuda is famous around the world for its pink beaches and its year-round warm weather. The island depends mainly on tourism to support itself, and is covered in hotels and companies taking advantage of the natural beauty of the place. One of the most popular attractions for tourists visiting Bermuda is the water. Because of its geographical location and water cleanliness, Bermuda is a preferred spot for scuba diving and snorkeling.

Bermuda is also the base point for a series of ocean-related scientific centers, such as the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute and the Royal Navy Dockyard and Museum. Lighthouses are spread around the Bermuda Islands, many of which are open to the public and are popular tourist attractions. Eighty percent of the tourists arriving in the island each year are Americans, many of whom own property in the island.
