Frederik, thanks for the changes so far. Good to wait with parts of Belgium. Also good to stay clear of political issues and only use geographic considerations. For me, fine not to split up Saint Martin/Sint Maarten.
As for these six Dutch islands in South America, good question on how to call these in a geographic way. The name Caribbean Netherlands officially only refers to only three of the six islands, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean_Netherlands Politically, historically and geographically, these islands can be grouped in many different ways with different names, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Caribbean#Grouping_of_islands Which doesn't make it easier. Calling it Dutch Caribbean is the least best name of the three options, I think. Even though the name *Netherlands Antilles* indeed as a political entity no longer exists, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands_Antilles Advantage of this name, is that it doesn't favor certain islands because of the current political construct (in which only a few are officially in Caribbean Netherlands). I think that is the best name to use, as it is also closer to what is used in the Dutch language. Nobody talks about the /Caraïbische Nederlanden/.
