CURACAO

Curaçao is an island in the southern part of the Caribbean Sea off the north coast of Venezuela. The island area of Curaçao is one of five island areas of the Netherlands Antilles. Its capital is Willemstad. Curaçao is the largest and most populous of the three so-called ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao) of the Lesser Antilles.

The flag of Curaçao is a blue field with a horizontal yellow stripe below the midline and two white, five-pointed stars in the canton. The blue symbolises the sea and sky divided by a yellow stroke representing the bright sun which covers the island. The two stars represent Curaçao and Klein Curaçao.
