'''[[Bermuda]]''', officially known as '''The Bermuda Islands''' or '''The Somers Isles''', is a [[British overseas territory]] in the [[Atlantic Ocean|North Atlantic Ocean]]. Located off the [[east coast of the United States]], it is situated around 1770 [[km]] (1,100 mi) northeast of [[Miami]], [[Florida]], and 1350 km (840 mi) south of [[Halifax Regional Municipality|Halifax, Nova Scotia]], [[Canada]]. The nearest [[landmass]] is [[Cape Hatteras]], [[North Carolina]], about 1030 km (640 mi) west-northwest. It is the oldest and most populous remaining British overseas territory, settled by [[England]] a century before the [[Acts of Union 1707|Acts of Union]] created the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain|United Kingdom]]. |

Although commonly referred to in the singular, the territory consists of approximately 138 [[island]]s, with a total area of 53.3 km² (20.6 sq. mi.). Compiling a list of these islands is often complicated, as many have more than one name (as does the entire archipelago, which, in addition to its two official names, has historically been known as "''La Garza''", "''Virgineola''", and the ''"Isle of Devils"''). Despite the limited land mass, there has also been a tendency for place names to be repeated; there are, for instance, two islands named ''"Long Island"'', three bays known as ''"Long Bay"'', and ''"[[St. George's, Bermuda|St. George's Town]]"'' is located on ''"[[St. George's Island, Bermuda|St. George's Island]]"'' within ''"[[St. George's Parish, Bermuda|St. George's Parish]]"'' (each known as ''St. George's''), whereas Bermuda's [[capital]], the [[Hamilton, Bermuda|''"City of Hamilton"'']], lies in [[Pembroke Parish, Bermuda|Pembroke Parish]], not in [[Hamilton Parish, Bermuda|''"Hamilton Parish"'']], on the largest island, ''"Main Island"'', which itself is sometimes called ''"Bermuda"''. |

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Bermuda:
Bermuda – a British overseas territory located in the North Atlantic Ocean.[1] Located off the east coast of the United States, it is situated around 1770 km (1,100 mi) northeast of Miami, Florida, and 1350 km (840 mi) south of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The nearest landmass is Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, about 1030 km (640 mi) west-northwest. Bermuda is the oldest and most populous remaining British overseas territory, having been settled by English forces a century before the Acts of Union created the Kingdom of Great Britain. Bermuda has a highly affluent economy, with a large financial sector and tourism industry giving it the world's highest GDP per capita in 2005. It has a subtropical climate, beaches with pink sand, and cerulean blue ocean.
