The problem is these three overseas regions. Bonaire is already considered a different country, but then what about Saba and St. Eustatius? Should we make new countries of them, or join Bonaire with Netherlands and just make 15 regions?
The list of Dutch provinces is right. The overseas islands mentioned are considered as municipalities with a special status. I would list them as separate countries, although they are not. Maybe combine them and call them Dutch Antilles
To plan in advance - would postal codes help us in this case? I think that they help speed up things in Belgium immensely (or at least made things easier)…
Edit: No they won’t. The numbers and provinces don’t match. Oh well.
The provinces are correct. Aren’t all distant islands treated as ‘countries’ here on RB? The 3 islands you mention are indeed municipalities under the name of ‘Caribisch Nederland’ . Dutch Antilles also include Sint Maarten, Curaçao and Aruba so shouldn’t be used imho. I’d say it’s best to treat them all as separate countries, if Bonaire is already considered as such here on RB.
