• The newly formed constituent countries of  Sint Maarten and  Curaçao are included in the most recent CIA World Factbook death rate lists, but not the most recent CIA World Factbook birth rate lists, and have therefore been omitted from this list. The former entity of Netherlands Antilles, of which Sint Maarten and Curaçao were once part, is included.
