           BERMUDA
==============================

Bermuda consists of a group of
360 small islands, 20
inhabited, in the western
Atlantic Ocean. The hilly
limestone islands are the caps
of ancient volcanoes rising
from the sea bed. The climate
is pleasantly warm and humid,
with rain spread evenly
throughout the year. Many
foreign banks and financial
institutions operate from the
island to take advantage of
the lenient tax laws. Its
proximity to the US and the
pleasant climate have led to a
flourishing tourist industry.
