The islands were part of the UK's Jamaican colony until 1962, when they assumed the status of a separate crown colony upon Jamaica's independence. The governor of The Bahamas oversaw affairs from 1965 to 1973. With Bahamian independence, the islands received a separate governor in 1973. Although independence was agreed upon for 1982, the policy was reversed and the islands remain a British overseas territory.

I refuse to pretend to be a Canadian while overseas. Sure, people are nicer to you when you do so, but that's only because they pity you...

Newfoundland has centuries worth of iron ore. We want that. It's Quebec we don't want. They whine even more than Mexicans.Originally posted by Drake Tungsten
I think I thought of a solution...
1. Canada annexes the Turks and Caicos
2. America annexes Canada
A winner for everyone involved, except possibly for America. Sure, we get another island paradise, but we also get Newfoundland..."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

The agreement states: "Until the two Contracting Parties agree to the modification or abrogation of the stipulations of the agreement in regard to the lease to the United States of America of lands in Cuba for coaling and naval stations… the stipulations of that Agreement with regard to the naval station of Guantánamo shall continue in effect."
There does seem to be some debate on the issue though.
Also:
Since 1959, the U.S. sends a check for the lease amount every year, but the Cuban government has never cashed them.

Re: Seriously, why haven't we annexed Turks&Caicos yet?
Good point. I think Turkey should finally realise the value of a paradise Caribbean real estate and annex it before the Canadians act on their delusions. Come on, it's not Canadians and Caicos after all...Originally posted by KrazyHorse

Yeah. The last time we "annexed" an island we had to give them an area the size of Texas to get them to agree.Originally posted by Dr Strangelove
