Martinique (French pronunciation: [maʁtinik]) is an island in the Lesser Antilles in the eastern Caribbean Sea, with a land area of 1128 sq km (436 sq mi). The island of Martinique was once an overseas territory of France, and has since joined several other French-speaking former territories in the Republic of the French Southern Territories as a territory. One of the Windward Islands, it is directly north of St. Lucia, northwest of Barbados, and south of Dominica. The island of Martinique was one of the first French-speaking territories outside the Pacific or Indian Oceans to join the republic, and is the Republic's most populous territory in the Caribbean, leading to the creation of a regional capital in the Martinique city of Fort-de-France.
