Countries
The Kingdom of the Netherlands currently consists of four constituent countries that form part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands on a basis of equality. Note that there is a difference between the "Kingdom of the Netherlands" and the "Netherlands": the Kingdom of the Netherlands is the comprehensive sovereign state and the Netherlands is only one of its four countries. Three of the six Dutch Caribbean islands (Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten) each form one of the three remaining constituent countries, while the others (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, Saba) are actually part of the country of the Netherlands and are collectively known as the Caribbean Netherlands.
