Cuba overview
Cuba is in Caribbean, North America. Its capital is Havana. The World Bank counts about 10.9 million people for 2025 on 109,884 km² of surface area.
Cuba has no land border, either in Natural Earth's boundary data or in the Travle map, so no route in the game can start or end there.

The World Bank counts 10,937,203 people in Cuba for 2025, which is 87th of 170 by population. Spread over 109,884 km² of surface area (2024), that is about 100 people per km², 64th of 169 by density.
