*’aruba’ is a ‘constituent country’ of the ‘kingdom of the netherlands’ in the ‘southern caribbean sea’, located about 1,600 kilometers (990 miles) west of the main part of the ‘lesser antilles’ + 29 kilometers (18 miles) north of the coast of ‘venezuela’*
.
(it measures 32 kilometres (20 mi) long from its northwestern to its southeastern end and 10 kilometres (6 mi) across at its widest point)
(together with Bonaire and Curaçao, Aruba forms a group referred to as the “ABC islands”)
(collectively, Aruba and the other Dutch islands in the Caribbean are often called the “Dutch Caribbean”)
(‘Aruba’ is one of the four countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands, along with the Netherlands, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten)
(the citizens of these countries all share a single nationality: Dutch. Aruba has no administrative subdivisions, but, for census purposes, is divided into 8 regions)
(its capital is “Oranjestad”)
Unlike much of the Caribbean region, Aruba has a dry climate and an arid, cactus-strewn landscape.
(this climate has helped tourism as visitors to the island can reliably expect warm, sunny weather)
(it has a land area of 179 km2 (69.1 sq mi) and is densely populated, with a total of 102,484 inhabitants at the ‘2010 Census’)
.
(it lies outside ‘hurricane alley’)
