Curaçao ( or ; (オランダ語:Curaçao);〔Dutch pronunciation: (:kyːraːˈsʌu̯)〕 Papiamentu: ''Kòrsou'') is an island country in the southern Caribbean Sea, approximately north of the Venezuelan coast, that is a constituent country ((オランダ語:land)) of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Formally called the Country of Curaçao, ((オランダ語:Land Curaçao);〔Formal name according to (Art. 1 para 1 Constitution of Curaçao ) (Dutch version)〕 ),〔Formal name according to (Art. 1 para 1 Constitution of Curaçao ) (Papiamentu version)〕 it includes the main island and the uninhabited island of Klein Curaçao ("Little Curaçao"). It has a population of over 150,000 on an area of and its capital is Willemstad.
Prior to the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles in 10 October 2010, Curaçao was administered as the "Island Territory of Curaçao"〔English name used by the Government of Curaçao and the Government of the Netherlands Antilles (English was an official language of the Netherlands Antilles and the Island Territory of Curaçao)〕 (Dutch: ''Eilandgebied Curaçao'', Papiamentu: ''Teritorio Insular di Kòrsou''), one of five island territories of the former Netherlands Antilles.
==Etymology==

According to Edgard Otero, author of "Origins of countries' names", the island was discovered by Spaniards, who left in the island members of their crew who had become ill during the trip. When the ships returned to the island one year later, expecting to find the sick already dead, they found their old crew members healthy and healed. For that reason, the islands was baptized as "Isla de la Curación" (Island of the Cure, or Island of Healing). In 1520 the island would figure for the first time in a map - which was nonetheless designed by the Portuguese, in whose language the island was called "Ilha da Curação" (Curação still means healing in Portuguese).
Another theory for the origin of the name of the island Curaçao is that it is derived from the Portuguese word for ''heart'' (''coração''), referring to the island as a centre in trade. Spanish traders kept the name as ''Curazao'', which was followed by the Dutch.
A third possible explanation is that Curaçao derives from a similar-sounding name that the Arawak people had used to identify themselves.〔Joubert and Van Buurt, 1994〕
On a map created by Hieronymus Cock in 1562 in Antwerp, the island was referred to as Qúracao.〔(Cock's 1562 map ) at the Library of Congress website〕
Four British Royal Navy ships have been named after the Island between 1809 and 1942. All have used the unusual spelling, HMS Curacoa. The last of these was a C-class light cruiser of 1917.
The name "Curaçao" has become associated with a shade of blue, because of the deep-blue version of the liqueur named Curaçao (also known as "blue Curaçao").
