| - | Saint Martin is a Caribbean island with a French part on the northern end (Saint-Martin) and a Dutch part on the south end (Sint Maarten) | + | Saint Martin is a Caribbean island with a French part on the northern end (Saint-Martin) and a Dutch part on the south end (Sint Maarten). "SXM" is sometimes used to refer to the island as a whole. Wikipedia: "The northern French part comprises the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collectivity_of_Saint_Martin|Collectivity of Saint Martin]] and is an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_collectivity|overseas collectivity]] of France. The southern Dutch part comprises [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sint_Maarten|Sint Maarten]] and is one of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_the_Netherlands#Constituent_countries|four constituent countries]] that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Even though the island is an overseas possession of two [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union|European Union]] member states, only the French part of the island is part of the EU." Notice that "Saint Martin" without a hyphen refers to the whole island, while "Saint-Martin" with a hyphen refers to the French northern part. |
