Netherlands
The Kingdom of the Netherlands (Dutch: 
Koninkrijk
der Nederlanden (help·info) Dutch
pronunciation: [ˈkoːnɪŋkrɛik dɛr
ˈneːdərlɑndə(n)]; Papiamento: Reino
Hulandes), commonly known as the Netherlands,[note 6] is a sovereign state and constitutional monarchy with territory
in western Europe and in the Caribbean. The four parts of the kingdom – Aruba, Curaçao, the Netherlands, and Sint Maarten – are referred to as countries and
participate on a basis of equality as partners in the kingdom.[2] In practice,
however, most of the kingdom affairs are administered by the Netherlands (which
comprises roughly 98% of the kingdom's land area and population) on behalf of
the entire kingdom, with Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten being dependent on the
Netherlands.
