Saint Martin/Sint Maartin

Historic Island that it is the smallest body of land that is shared by two nations.  The Dutch Sint Maartin covers approximately 13 square miles and the French Saint Martin covers the remaining 20.  The Dutch area, while smaller, is more populated while also being noticeably more developed.  There are approximately 75k people that live on the north Caribbean Island that sits 190 miles east of the Caribbean.
