Two new countries will be formed here in the Caribbean on 10/10/10

On this date, the Netherlands Antilles will cease to exist. In its place, the islands of Curacao and St. Maarten will follow Aruba to become separate countries that will be part of the Kingdom of The Netherlands. The remaining three islands will become municipalities of The Netherlands.

/edit: corrected future status of Saba, Statia and Bonaire
