===Netherlands=== {{Main|Kingdom of the Netherlands}} {{Further|Dutch Caribbean}} The Kingdom of the Netherlands comprises three autonomous "constituent countries" in the Caribbean (listed below) and one constituent country, the [[Netherlands]], with most of its area in Europe but also encompassing three [[Caribbean Netherlands|overseas Caribbean municipalities]]—[[Bonaire]], [[Sint Eustatius]], and [[Saba (island)|Saba]] (these three [[special municipality (Netherlands)|Caribbean municipalities]] are excluded here because they are directly administered by the [[Netherlands#Government and politics|Government of the Netherlands]]<ref>[https://2009-2017.state.gov/s/inr/rls/10543.htm Dependencies and Areas of Special Sovereignty], U.S. Department of State. "Bonaire, Saba, and Sint Eustatius now fall under the direct administration of the Netherlands". Retrieved 17 June 2016.</ref>). All citizens of the Dutch Kingdom share the same nationality and are thus [[European Union citizenship|citizens of the European Union]], but only the European portion of the Kingdom is a part of the territory of the Union, the [[European Union Customs Union|Customs Union]], and the [[Eurozone]] while other areas have [[special territories of members of the European Economic Area|overseas countries and territory]] status. {| class="wikitable sortable" |- !
