Kingdom of the Netherlands

The Kingdom of the Netherlands is a constitutional monarchy consisting of four countries: the Netherlands (located in Europe), Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten (in the Caribbean). While each of these countries has a certain degree of self-governance, the Kingdom as a whole is managed by a unified government for issues like defense and foreign policy. The monarch is the head of state, and the Dutch government operates with a parliamentary system. The Kingdom provides a framework for cooperation among its diverse regions while allowing local governments to handle their own internal affairs.
