Saint Kitts and Nevis, officially the Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis, is an island country consisting of the two islands of Saint Kitts and Nevis, both located in the West Indies, in the Leeward Islands chain of the Lesser Antilles. With 261 square kilometers (101 sq mi) of territory and roughly 48,000 inhabitants, it is the smallest sovereign state in the Western Hemisphere, both area and population, and the world's smallest sovereign federation. The country is a Commonwealth realm, with Charles III as King and head of state. St. Kitts and Nevis offers an economic citizenship program, the oldest of this kind in the world, criticized due to corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion risks.

The capital city is Basseterre, located on the larger island of Saint Kitts. Basseterre is also the main port for passenger entry (via cruise ships) and cargo. The smaller island of Nevis lies approximately 3 km (2 mi) southeast of Saint Kitts, across a shallow channel called The Narrows.

The British dependency on Anguilla was historically also a part of this union, collectively known as Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla. However, Anguilla chose to secede from the union in 1967 and remains a British overseas territory.

Saint Kitts and Nevis were among the first islands in the Caribbean to be colonized by Europeans. Saint Kitts was home to the first British and French Caribbean colonies and has thus been titled "The Mother Colony of the West Indies." It is also the most recent British territory in the Caribbean to become independent, gaining independence on September 19, 1983.

In the 20th century, school corporal punishment fell out of fashion and was gradually banned in many countries, a trend that continues until the present day.

As of May 2008, Saint Kitts and Nevis permits corporal punishment in schools.
