1970-1982







St. Helena, since 1982



The economy of St. Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha was based on the cultivation of New Zealand flax, the production of an alcoholic spirit made of cactus fruit, on military bases on Ascension and Saint Helena, on the sales of postage stamps issued for Ascension, St. Helena and for Tristan da Cunha, and on subsidies paid by London.
In 1999 the construction of an airport on St. Helena was begun; completion is scheduled for 2010. In 2002, the St. Helenans were granted full British citizenship.
