Field notes
Anguilla's capital is genuinely small — the British Overseas Territory has a population under 16,000, making it one of the smallest jurisdictions on this list. Most nomads base near Sandy Ground or Meads Bay rather than The Valley itself, both for beach access and for the slightly denser café-and-restaurant infrastructure. The Work from Anguilla DNV is a 1-year permit, $2,000 single / $3,000 family application fee. The structural draws are the beaches (Anguilla is widely considered the best beach island in the Caribbean) and the calmness; the structural cost is that almost everything imports.
