Haiti

Haiti is a Caribbean country that occupies the western one-third of the island of Hispaniola and the other part is occupied by the Dominican Republic.

(Citadelle Laferrière, the largest fortress in the Americas)

Haiti is a country with a troubled past, and its future still remains uncertain. Decades of poverty, environmental degradation, violence, instability, dictatorship and coups have left it the poorest nation in the western hemisphere.
