Sint Maarten, Caribbean administrative territory in Sint Maarten, Netherlands.

Sint Maarten occupies the southern portion of Saint Martin island, covering 34 square kilometers with Philipsburg as its capital point.

The Dutch and French signed the Treaty of Concordia in 1648, establishing a formal division of the island between both nations.

The annual Sint Maarten Carnival features multiple parades, music performances, and traditional food celebrations between April and May each year.

The territory maintains duty-free status, enabling tax-free purchases of international products throughout its commercial districts and shopping centers.

Princess Juliana International Airport borders Maho Beach, where aircraft pass at low altitude during landing approaches over sunbathers.

Smallest countries and territories in the world by area

29 elements

This collection encompasses the world's smallest countries and territories by land area, measured including lakes and rivers within their borders. The list features both independent sovereign states and dependent territories with varying political statuses. From Vatican City at 0.4 square kilometers to Monaco and San Marino in Europe, and island nations in the Caribbean such as Saint Kitts and Nevis, this selection demonstrates the geographic diversity of compact territories. The European microstates offer medieval fortifications, princely palaces, and modern financial districts within limited spaces. Pacific atolls like Nauru and Tuvalu present coral formations and tropical coastlines, while Caribbean islands combine volcanic mountains, rainforests, and colonial architecture. Despite their limited size, these countries and territories maintain their own governmental systems, cultures, and economic models ranging from tourism and financial services to fishing and agriculture.
