Wait when did Sint-Maarten become indipendent? They are still part of the Netherlands as far as I know, just with a special status, like Hong-Kong in China.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands is comprised of 4 countries: Netherlands, Sint Maarten, Aruba and Curacao. Here is some further reading for you:
http://www.government.nl/issues/caribbe ... bbean.html

Basically, the former Net. Ant. had several referendums. 2 countries decided on independence and the rest wanted to stay bumbuddies with you.

EDIT: It is similar to Hong Kong, but only things like the military (including alliances), nationality and such are decided by the main gov't. All internal affairs are independent, unlike HK, which has protests that Aruba has more freedom.
