Historically, Aruba was part of the Netherlands Antilles, a six-island federation which also included Bonaire, Curacao, St. Maarten, St. Eustatius and Saba. This island grouping, in turn, formed the Caribbean component of the Dutch Kingdom, a constitutional monarchy with the Queen of Holland having the dual role of head of state of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, as well as of the country of Holland. Although Aruba has a separate status, it still retains strong economic, cultural, political and defense ties with Holland and her "sister" islands.
