1 Cuba Chaudre Rhodes
2 Economic Beginning in the late 1990s, Cuba experimented with limited market economics, such as pay incentives and bonuses, in an attempt to improve productivity. The government has put special emphasis on the promotion of foreign investment and the development of tourism.
3 Economic Beginning in 2002 and continuing through 2006, the government restructured the sugar sector. Most of Cuba's sugar mills were closed, and sugar production declined significantly.

5 Government The country is today a communist state, governed under a totalitarian system, with leader Raul Castro controls over all legislative, judicial, military, and security affairs. Castro runs everything.
6 Judicial System The 1976 constitution established the People's Supreme Court as the highest court of the country. This court has a governing council that proposes laws, issues regulations, and makes decisions to be implemented by the people's courts.
7 Judicial System There also are seven regional courts of appeal, as well as district courts with civil and criminal jurisdiction. There are no jury trials and most trials are public.
8 Political Parties The constitution recognizes the Cuban Communist Party as the highest leading force of the society and of the state, which, in practice, outlaws other political parties.
9 Political Parties At the party congress in 1998, Fidel Castro was reelected as first secretary. As of 2011, the PCC remained cuba's only authorized political party.
