Cuba is an island located in the Caribbean just south of Florida. It covers an area just slightly smaller than Pennsylvania. The climate is tropical, moderated by trade winds. It has a dry season (November to April) and a rainy season (May to October). Its terrain is comprised mainly of flat to rolling plains with rugged hills and mountains in the southeast. Natural resources include cobalt, nickel, iron ore, copper, manganese, salt, timber, silica, petroleum and arable land.

The long-standing US embargo has played an important role in Cuba’s economy. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Cuban economy has deteriorated with serious unemployment. Many white-collar graduates have been unable to find technical jobs in the agrarian economy. Salaries are inadequate, there are extreme delays in the delivery of services and prices are rising. The black market flourishes especially for dollars and other hard-to-find goods. In 1993, Cubans were allowed by governmental decree to establish private businesses and today Cubans in some 140 professions can work for their own for profit. Foreign investment is also encouraged.

Cuba has around 574,400 Telephone lines and 120,000 Internet users
