Guadeloupe is a French-owned island in the Caribbean. France has owned the island since 1635, and with its subsidization from France, there is little motivation for them to be independent.

The people are predominantly of African and South Asian descent. The island is nominally Christian (in name only), but occultism and magic are large influences.

The official language is French, and France controls the aid and military to the islands. It is no doubt a beautiful place, but it is also a paradise lost. Formerly, it was a strong Christian nation that sent missionaries all over the Pacific. Today, it is debased by increasing vices and immorality.
