Well to which country does it belong? To MilkyWayLand Netherlands No. I live in the netherlands, only bonaire, saba and sint eustasius according to my history teacher Curacao is now independent, actually. Let me retract that statement for Curacao being a puppet country. However, I do not classify Curacao as a country, since it is not recognized by the UN. so? everyone knows taiwan is a country and it's not recognized For the sake if clarity just use the UN recognisation as the ballpark standard Even if it was recognized, it was still written wrong It is spelt 'Curaçao' I think

quote train reeeeeee It does have a special accent mark and I did use the UN standard for countries why do i care about the UN ?? It's a good basis for determining country existance... Or you could just get somebody to count all the countries who he thinks should be a country.

So much better than the world's most influential countries meeting up together and classifying the countries using a formal method. yes, but if I used your method there would be disputes to whether XYZ is a country:

- Hong Kong

- Macau

- Transnistria

- Greenland

- Taiwan

- Xinjiang

Besides, the UN is a well-known and infulencial organization. Using a random person on the internet is not better than using a system used by actual politicians.
