[SEDXC] New Caribbean Entities ...

[Weymouth Walker]

The dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles was originally 
planned to occur in December 2008, but has been rescheduled 
to happen October 10th, 2010. As of March 8th, the break-up 
of the Netherlands Antilles will happen as follows:

* Curacao (PJ2) and Sint Maarten (PJ7) will become two new 
constituent
states within the Kingdom of the Netherlands (something like 
what
happen to Aruba). (ed. For DXCC purposes, probably two 
deletions and
two new entities.)

* Bonaire (PJ4), Saba (PJ6) and Sint Eustatius (PJ5) are 
expected to
become a direct part of the Netherlands as special Dutch 
municipalities. (ed. For DXCC purposes.... not sure, but 
possibly three new entities.)
