Talk:Kalipiane fakahōlani

3 or 6

All the same, only 3 islands are included in the Caribbean Netherlands: Ponere, Sapa and Sā ʻEusitatiusi - https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribisch_Nederland. ʻAlupa, Kulasao and Sā Mātini (fakahōlani), although they belong to Holland, have a completely different status, they can be listed on this page, but formally they are separated into separate state entities.

Completely true. So does Kalipiane fakahōlani refers to the historical group of 6, or is it limited to the 3 which are not separate countries? But then what is a country? Normally one would say a entity with a independent government. In that case they are not. They are more like the USA states, quite independent, yet belonging to the federal USA. But the dutch language has not really a word for that, so they call them countries, with all the confusion to it. Tauʻolunga (talk) 05:28, 2 Sune 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I agree.--Петров Эдуард (talk) 09:15, 2 Sune 2023 (UTC)
