This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The article isn't helpful for most of the target audience.

Citizens of the Carribbean nations in the article can currently enjoy up to 180 days in the EU visa-free. The same exact visa-free window as citizens of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand are granted.

Citizenship to one of these Carribbean island nations can certainly help you leave North America, but it doesn't help you get any more access to the EU than you currently have. It just helps you move to...the Carribbean.

Can you do 180 days as a US-ian, and another 180 days as a Caribbean-ian?

Some nationalities can’t enter Europe without a visa, so this would be an upgrade for them. But, for nationalities that already have visa free entry, it isn’t that helpful.

Unless the situation with the US and access for its citizens, which is the main driver being mentioned.
