This entity is an island not a country.

Saint Martin (French: Saint-Martin; Dutch: Sint Maarten) is a tropical island in the northeast Caribbean, approximately 300 km (186 miles) east of Puerto Rico.

The 87 km2 island is divided roughly 60/40 between France (53 km2) and the Netherlands Antilles (34 km2)[2]; it is the smallest inhabited sea island divided between two nations, a division dating to 1648.

The southern Dutch half comprises the Eilandgebied Sint Maarten (Island area of St. Martin) and is part of the Netherlands Antilles.

The northern French half comprises the Collectivité de Saint-Martin (Collectivity of St. Martin) and is an overseas collectivity of France.

On January 1, 2006 the population of the entire island was 72,892 inhabitants, 37,629 of whom lived on the Dutch side,[3] and 35,263 on the French side.

Collectively, the two territories are also known as St-Martin/St Maarten.


Now see Saint-Martin and Netherlands Antilles.
