  Bermuda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bermuda (adjective Bermudian) is an internally self-governing island Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom, situated in the Atlantic Ocean.
Bermuda was discovered by the early 1500s, probably in 1503, although the evidence for the exact year, and the identity of the discoverer, is sketchy.

 Bermuda
Bermuda is an island colony of the United Kingdom, situated in the Atlantic Ocean.
In addition, the tariff enacted by the U.S. against its trading partners in 1930 cut off Bermuda's once-thriving agricultural export trade--primarily fresh vegetables to the United States--spurring the overseas territory to develop its tourist industry, which is second behind international business in terms of economic importance to the island.
During World War II, Bermuda became important as a military base because of its location in the Atlantic Ocean.

 Bermuda Insurance Market   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Bermuda Government has issued 1,200 licenses to international insurers in the first ever re-registration of companies domiciled in the world's leading offshore insurance centre.
Astwood, who is responsible for regulating Bermuda's international insurance industry, said the re-registration was vital to the orderly adoption of the new multi-license system.
The switch from a single-license rulebook was first announced in September 1994 and was designed to provide different levels of regulatory oversight for different companies, depending on the nature and extent of their non-related business involvement.

 A Limey In Bermuda: Birthright
If Bermuda doesn't have a native population, then the same would have to be said of the US and Canada (the populations of "native americans" in each of these places is extremely low; in the US less that 1%, in Canada less than 3%).
Bermuda doesn't know you from anyone else and before we as a people make a commitment to you, which we cannot back out of, we need to let your record speak for itself.
Bermuda may run out of space at the Commissioner's House and St. David's Head, but the world goes on and on, and we need to decide whether to erect a "welcoming arms" staircase or a barricade prickling with barbed wire.

 Global Finance: Ensuring Bermuda's future
Bermuda, however, is ensuring its future stability by continuing to utilize the strengths that have defined its meteoric success: close cooperation of government and businesses, flexible regulatory and neutral tax conditions, and-perhaps most important-forward-looking business acumen attracted by the aforementioned conditions.
The Bermuda Stock Exchange, the world's first fully electronic offshore securities market, was recognized in 1996 by the US Securities and Exchange Commission as a "designated offshore securities market." It epitomizes the successful capitalization of the island's technological and intellectual wealth in the new electronic economy.
This positive assessment is based on Bermuda's continuing ability to attract intellectual and creative talent to its flexible regulatory environment, the distinguishing factor for identifying Bermuda as the world's "insurance laboratory." Insurance giants are diversifying their underwriting risks and management techniques to encompass cyberspace insurance and other types of nontraditional insurance.

The Bermuda Sun understands that officials of the Bermuda Employers Council are seeking a meeting with CURE officials next week for clarification of the pending legislation.
Home Affairs minister Paula Cox told the Bermuda Sun on Wednesday that she had no intention of removing the low security detention centre from the island but she did plan to introduce changes -- the main one being to separate the sexes.
She added that when allegations were made against officers, and because of the relative "goldfish bowl" way of life in Bermuda, mud, even when thrown by those without the full facts, tends to stick.

 Bermuda Department of Health: Rat Man Begins
He's general foreman in charge of rodent control on Bermuda, an island paradise located in the Atlantic Ocean some 550 miles off the coast of North Carolina that is better known for its pink-sand beaches than disease-carrying rodents.
Bermuda's health service uses a geographic information system (GIS) to monitor rats' movements around the island, to quickly scan the garbage dumps and sewers the rodents love, to send poison-armed pest control officers to lay rodenticide in infected areas, and to keep tracking families of rats until the groups have been eradicated.
While Bermuda officials say there's no way to know how many of these creatures are on the island, the number of rodent complaints—which is how they gauge success against the vermin—was down by 20% in the fourth quarter of 2004, to just 467, compared to the fourth quarter of 2003.

 TradePort Country Profile of Bermuda from World Trade Press
Bermuda consists of about 360 small coral islands with ample rainfall, but without rivers or freshwater lakes; some land, reclaimed and otherwise, was leased by the U.S. government from 1941 to 1995.
Bermuda enjoys one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, with its economy primarily based on providing financial services for international business and luxury facilities for tourists.
On the negative side, Bermuda's already weakening tourism industry--which derives over 80 percent of its visitors from the U.S.--has been further hit as American tourists have chosen not to travel.

 A Limey In Bermuda: Racial Balance
Former UBP premier Sir John Swan has caused a bit of a stir in today's Royal Gazette with his criticism of the UBP and praise for the PLP.
It's an unfortunate fact that the racial composition of Bermuda means that the PLP doesn't need to make any attempt to be inclusive to stay in power.
Bermuda needs to move beyond race-based politics before it can consider itself a mature democracy.
