The country of Saint Christopher-Nevis in the Caribbean has a few synonym options for its name. One option is St. Kitts and Nevis, which refers to the two main islands that make up the country. Another option is the Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis, which was the official name of the country until 1983. Some locals also refer to their country simply as "the Federation".
