Usage

Omit if no appropriate data is available

Format

Entries must be written out in full. A single island may belong to more than one island group. For example, Dominica is part of the Windward Islands, the Lesser Antilles, and the West Indies. You may include up to two groups using the following format: “Smaller Group (Larger Group).”

There are two island groups commonly referred to as the Windward Islands and the Leeward Islands. One is in the Caribbean and is part of the Lesser Antilles. The other is in the Pacific and is part of the Society Islands. Always specify the larger group when referring to either of these groups.

Admin divisions may correspond to island groupings (for example, Hawaii). Include the island grouping even if it is its own admin division.
