Geography

The Caribbean Netherlands are a group of islands in the Caribbean and were formerly part of the Netherlands Antilles. Today they are special municipalities and thus part of the Netherlands. Bonaire is the largest of the 3 islands after Sint Eustatius and Saba with just under 19000 inhabitants. The dwarf state has a total area of only 322 km² (124 mi²) and a total coastline of 399 km (247.9 mi). This land area is about 1.8 times the size of Washington, D.C. The Caribbean Netherlands are thus one of the smallest countries in the Americas by area and ranked 211st worldwide.

The highest elevation in the country (Mount Scenery) is 877 meters. The Caribbean Netherlands have no direct neighbors.
