The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Trinidad and Tobago: Trinidad and Tobago – sovereign island nation〔Archipelagic Waters and Exclusive Economic Zone Act No 24 of 1986〕 located in the Lesser Antilles Archipelago in the southeastern Caribbean Sea. Trinidad and Tobago lies northeast of the South American nation of Venezuela and south of the island nation of Grenada. It also shares maritime boundaries with Barbados to the northeast and Guyana to the southeast. The country covers an area of 5,128 square kilometers (1,979 sq mi) and consists of two main islands, Trinidad and Tobago, and numerous smaller landforms. Trinidad is the larger and more populous of the main islands; Tobago is much smaller, comprising about 6% of the total area and 4% of the population. The nation lies outside the hurricane belt. Officially Trinidadians or Tobagonians, the people from Trinidad and Tobago are often informally referred to as ''Trinbagonians'' or ''Trinis'' (for Trinidadians). Unlike most of the English-speaking Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago is a primarily industrialised country whose economy is based on petroleum and petrochemicals. Trinidad and Tobago is famous for its pre-Lenten Carnival and as the birthplace of steelpan, calypso, soca, and limbo. == General reference == * Abbreviations:RTT, RofTT, TRI, TT * Pronunciation: tri-nee-dad an To-bay-go * Common English country name: Trinidad and Tobago * Official English country name: The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago * Common endonym(s): Trinidad and Tobago * Official endonym(s): The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago * Adjectives: Trinidadian, Tobagonian, Trinbagonian * Demonym(s): Trinidadians, Tobagonians, Trinbagonians (colloquial), Trinis (colloquial) * Etymology: Name of Trinidad and Tobago * International rankings of Trinidad and Tobago * ISO country codes: TT, TTO, 780 * ISO region codes: See ISO 3166-2:TT * Internet country code top-level domain: .tt 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Outline of Trinidad and Tobago」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
