Title: Netherland Antilles dissolved in 2010, but is still listed as a country in VM
Post by: Allen_K on January 31, 2017, 21:48:43 PM
As of VM 3.0.18, VM still lists "Netherlands Antilles" as a selectable address country field, with Curacao, Bonaire and St. Maarten as choosable States within Netherland Antilles.

A customer in Curacao reminded me that Netherlands Antilles no longer exists since it was dissolved in 2010 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolution_of_the_Netherlands_Antilles). Curacao is a free-standing independent country. There is no "State" or territory affiliation.

VM needs to be updated in the future to reflect this Geopolitical change from 2010. Just FYI to those who update such things.

Regards,

Allen

Thank you for the information. We will put that on the ToDo list.

Maybe not entirely correct. They are mainly independent, but a member of the 'Kingdom of the Netherlands', like for example the island of Jersey is part of the United Kingdom.

This is absolutely correct. They recently broke away, so their status has changed. Look it up.
