Ricky...Are you seriously asking if Jamaica had less than 1.1 million people in 1998? Sadess, delete that question quick, quick before you get battered for chupidity...

Er.... he was probably implying that Jamaica's 2.5 million (estimate) was the smallest population up to 1998 or 2002, not comparing there population to ours.

T&T is the largest country (democratic, English-speaking Republic) in the Lesser Antilles and also the first country in this area to make it to the World Cup...T&T is also known as "The TIGER in the SEA of PUSSYCATS" according to the New York Times.
