The Unitarian State of St Martin is a country in the northeast Caribbean Sea, approximately 300 km (190 mi) east of Puerto Rico. The 87 square kilometres (34 sq mi) island declared independence from the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 2030.
The island's traditional pre-colonial name is Oualichi which means "the island of women" or Soualiga, land of salt. This name was given to the island by native Arawak tribes.
The country's largest city and administrative is Great Bay, formerly named Phillipsburg. The capital was renamed following a coup d'etat by the St. Martin Unity and Strength Party on 10 October 2035 following disagreements over a settlement with the Dutch to legitimize the nation's independence. The coup was spearheaded by a young Member of Parliament Hurts who now rules the nation as President.
