Saint Lucia, independent island state, one of the Windward Islands, West Indies, southeastern Caribbean Sea, between Martinique on the north and Saint Vincent on the south. It has an area of 616 sq km (238 sq mi). Of volcanic origin, Saint Lucia is traversed from north to south by a forested mountain range that culminates in Mount Gimie (950 m/ 3,117 ft). In the south, Soufriere, a volcanic crater with hot sulfur springs, offers a potential source of geothermal energy. The mountains contain many streams and fertile valleys. Saint Lucia had a total population (2000 estimate) of 155,678. Most of the population is black, and about 90 percent is Roman Catholic. English is the official language, but a French patois is widely spoken. The capital and largest city is Castries (population, 1993 estimate, 54,568); it is also the principal port and has an excellent harbor. Executive power is nominally vested in the British monarch, who is represented by a governor-general. Actual executive power is wielded by a cabinet, consisting of a prime minister and other ministers who are appointed by the prime minister. Legislative power is held by a parliament.
