Curaçao

Curaçao, sometimes only inscribed on stamps as CURACAO''' is a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea.

Two different countries used the name:
 * The Dutch colony that later became the Netherlands Antilles. See: Netherlands Antilles.
 * The island of Curaçao, once part of the Netherlands Antilles that is now part of the Netherlands. See below.

With the end of the Netherlands Antilles in October 2010, independence was considered but Curaçao remained part of the Netherlands as an autonomous land. So, Curaçao began issuing stamps beginning in October 2010.
