Barbados is the easternmost island of the Caribbean, a single coral island about 21 miles long, and it is divided into eleven parishes. Ten are named for saints and one, Christ Church, for the church at its centre. The parishes are the units its census, its constituencies and its addresses are organised around, and they cover the whole island without a gap.
The eleven parishes of today, with "Saint" shortened to "St" as Barbadians usually write it. Bridgetown, the capital, is in St Michael on the south west coast, and the airport is in Christ Church at the southern tip. St Lucy takes the northern point of the island, and St Philip the broad eastern side of the south.
The groups are not an official classification. They are the north, the string of parishes along the sheltered west coast, and the rest of the south and east, a way to learn the map a piece at a time.
St Michael holds Bridgetown and its harbour, on the south west coast, and is the most densely populated parish on the island.
St Lucy is the northernmost parish, the point of the island, and one of the least built up.
St Philip fills the south east of the island, and is the biggest of the parishes that are not on the northern half.
Eleven, and together they cover the whole island, so the game has no territory outside them.
No. The three groups here are the north, the west coast and the south and east, and they are only a way to learn the map.
Both are used. The game writes St, which is how the parishes appear on Barbadian maps and addresses.
