Saint Martin
- Collectivity of Saint Martin
The
Collectivity of Saint Martin
is in the northern part of Saint Martin, a tropical island in the northeast Caribbean, approximately 240 km (150 miles) east of Puerto Rico. The 38-square-mile (98 km²) island is divided roughly in half between France and the Netherlands. It is one of the smallest inhabited landmasses in the world that is divided between two nations. The northern French half is an overseas collectivity and a constituent part of the French Republic. The southern Dutch half is called
Sint Maarten
and is a constituent country of the
Kingdom of the Netherlands
. Collectively the two territories are known as "Saint-Martin / Sint Maarten", "Saint Martins", or simply "SXM." (SXM is the IATA identifier for Princess Juliana International Airport, the island's main airport). The island lies near Anguilla, Saint Barthelemy, and the British Virgin Islands.

on Wikimedia. That page contains links to entries by country, continent and by topic as well as general
notes and references
.
- Every entry has an introduction section in English. If other languages are native and/or official in an entity, introductions in other languages are added in separate sections. The text of the introduction(s) is based on the content of the Wikipedia encyclopedia. For sources of the introduction see therefore the Wikipedia entries linked to. The same goes for the texts in the history sections.
- Historical maps are included in the continent, country and dependency entries.
- The status of various entities is disputed. See the content for the entities concerned.
- The maps of former countries that are more or less continued by a present-day country or had a territory included in only one or two countries are included in the atlas of the present-day country. For example the Ottoman Empire can be found in the
Atlas of Turkey
