 The island of Saint Helena was discovered by the Portuguese in 1502, and was totally remote. The British were garisonned there in the 1700's, and became famous as Napoleon Bonaparte's island exile after he escaped from Elba, an island a little closer to shore. As for other sum-up news, dear old Dad wants to live on Saint Helena, because only a few people live there. Mom says otherwise.

 Population: 7,367 (there's more people in a supermarket)

 Location: Itty Bitty island right smack dab in the middle of our dear friend, Mister Pacific Ocean!

 Major Export: None (Unless you count the quantities of volcanic rock that litters every inch of this poor little island)

 Major Language: English (Hey cool! If I moved there, I wouldn't have to learn a new language!)

 Major Religion: Baptist, Anglican, Roman Catholic

 Chief of State: Dead since 15-somthing or other. (I swaney, almost EVERY island was owned by Elizabeth 2. This lady must've been a worse land-grabber than Ghengis Khan.)

 Capital: Jamestown

 How Big: 410 sq. km. (Can you belive this baby is smaller than Lana'i?)

 Government Type: None

 Famous Resident: Napoleon Bonaparte

 Reprisentation from U.S.: None (Darn! Could've been a good reson for Dad to live there. On the other hand, I wonder if they need a computer tech...)

 Why the heck I did this island: Because of my interest in conquerers and remote places. As you might know, I have already done reports on Ghengis Khan and Vlad Tepes. Napoleon would make a great asset to my 'collection'.
