Redonda is an uninhabited Caribbean island, and a dependency of Antigua and Barbuda.

 The Redondan Foundation - Brief History of Redonda
The Redonda Phosphate Company had been established in 1869, under licence from the British Government, to remove large quantities of phosphate-bearing ore from the island, for processing as artificial fertiliser.
Ruins of the installations survive on Redonda, but the island is now abandoned, and has become a refuge for sea-birds, reptiles, a herd of goats and a colony of burrowing owls recently displaced from Antigua, under whose jurisdiction it remains.
Following precedents going back over sixty years, the present King of Redonda is pledged by the terms of his Irrevocable Covenant to maintain and extend the Intellectual Aristocracy of the Kingdom, to preserve and develop the Realm itself for posterity and to keep the memories of M.P.Shiell and John Gawsworth green.

 A Writer At Large: The Kingdom of Redonda Independent on Sunday, The - Find Articles
The story of Redonda and its kings is so quaint and whimsical it would have made a delightful Ealing comedy; so colourful and raffish it could have been penned by Kipling; so swathed in metaphysical ambiguities it might have been dreamed up by Jorge Luis Borges, only to be discarded as too far-fetched for publication.
Ever since 1865, the so-called "Kingdom" of Redonda has been the object of fierce and occasionally (to the outsider) farcical disputes, which continue with unabated heat, not to say mounting rancour, into the 21st century.
There have been at least five kings of Redonda, two of them acknowledged by all parties, the others regarded as vile pretenders and usurpers by their counter- claimants.

Enthusiasts are encouraged to enjoy the literary Realm of Redonda kingdom of make believe, but they need to be reminded from time to time that this realm was constructed from a promotianal puff by M.P. Shiel on the occasion of the republication of a number of his works by Gollancz in 1929.
On the occasion of the publication of this puff, Machen said it was a "mass of infernal lies," that Phipps was a born "liar." And it seems true, that every bit of the story that Phipps told about the kingdom was either false or exaggerated.

Anchoring at Redonda is difficult, as the surrounding waters are quite deep and the ocean floor there is very rocky.
There are a few birds (such as the burrowing owl), goats, and other animals on Redonda, which is maintained as protected parkland by the Antiguan government, but the last semi-permanent human activity there--an American aluminum phosphate mine--closed its doors in 1914.
