The Republic of Cuba or República de Cuba is a country in the Caribbean. It consists of the island of Cuba (the largest and second-most populous island of the Greater Antilles), the island of Isla de la Juventud, and several adjacent small islands. Havana is the largest city in Cuba and is the country's capital. Santiago de Cuba and Camagüey are also major Cuban cities. Better known smaller towns include: Baracoa (which was the first Spanish settlement on Cuba), Trinidad (a UNESCO world heritage site), and Bayamo. Cuba is home to over 11 million people and is the most populous insular nation in the Caribbean. Its people, culture, and customs draw from diverse sources such as: the aboriginal Taíno and Ciboney peoples; the period of Spanish colonialism; the introduction of African slaves; and its proximity to the United States. The name "Cuba" comes from the Taíno language and though the exact meaning is unclear, it may be translated either as "where fertile land is abundant" (cubao)[9], or as "great place" (coabana). The national flower is the "flor de mariposa" (Butterfly Flower) and the national bird is the Tocororo or Cuban Trogon.
