Bermuda

 |
Bermuda is an internal self-governing overseas territory of the United Kingdom in the Atlantic Ocean with internal self-government. The main religion is Christianity. The main language is English. Bermuda became British in 1609. The islands are a parliamentary democratic dependency.
Bermuda was first settled in 1609 by shipwrecked English colonists headed for Virginia. Tourism to the island to escape North American winters first developed in Victorian times. Tourism continues to be important to the island's economy, although international business has overtaken it in recent years. Bermuda has developed into a highly successful offshore financial center. A referendum on independence was soundly defeated in 1995.
