Bermuda Island
Situated 600 miles off the coast of the United States, Bermuda Island is a territory of the United Kingdom located in the North Atlantic Ocean. It has an alias of The Somers Isles since it was here the ship of English Sir George Somers, called the Sea Ventures, was shipwrecked. That explains why most of its beaches are named after its crews.
The Bermuda Island is ordinarily referred to as only one land, but in fact it consists of 138 smaller islands surrounded by water. Bermuda is a small island with a total area of 58.8 square kilometers (27.7 square miles). Amidst its size, it has an abundant and beautiful environment that has been the reason behind their rich economy.

On June 1 of 1967, the Constitution of Bermuda Island amassed strong power and was then amended in 1989. The head in all of its administrative affairs is the premier.

The senate automatically is the Upper House that has 11 members. The Lower House is the assembly with 36 members democratically elected to serve a term of 5 years.
Being under the United Kingdom, Bermuda's defense is taken care of by the said country and not by Bermuda's own government. However, setting aside the fact, it was known long before that Bermuda is accountable for maintaining militia for the protection of the colony. Bermuda became the primary Royal Navy headquarter and dockyard in the Western Atlantic prior to their independence from the United States.
