Detailed Country Guide
Overview and identity
Aruba, officially listed here as Aruba, is structured as a practical country reference guide for users searching country facts, maps, flags, codes, and daily-use data. The page should make Aruba, AW, ABW, the flag, the official name, and the country slug easy to confirm because users often land on country pages while checking identifiers for forms, travel, education, or data products. Aruba is grouped under Americas, more specifically Caribbean, with North America shown as the continent context.
Geography and population scale
The country dataset records a population of 108,880 people and a land area of 180 square kilometers, which gives an approximate density of 605 people per square kilometer. The main coordinate reference is 12.5, -69.96666666, while the capital coordinate reference is 12.52, -70.03. Aruba has no land borders listed in the country data, and the landlocked value is recorded as no. These details help the page answer common searches around location, area, borders, map position, and population comparison.
Capital and urban network
The capital information is recorded as Oranjestad (primary). The largest city entries shown for this country are Oranjestad and Tanki Leendert. Including cities alongside country-level facts helps the guide answer searches such as largest cities in Aruba, capital of Aruba, and major urban areas in Aruba. This is useful because many users compare the official capital with the largest business, transport, or population centers.

The classification fields mark sovereignty as no, United Nations membership as no, observer status as no, and disputed status as no. International memberships shown for this page include no major listed organizations in this sample. These fields support search intent around political status, country classification, and international organization membership.

The week starts on monday; the academic year starts around Sep 1; the government fiscal year starts around Jan 1; and the personal fiscal year starts around Jan 1.
Currency, language, transport, and references
Currency data lists AWG - Aruban florin (Æ’), while language records include Dutch and Papiamento. Vehicle data records the driving side as right and vehicle sign codes as not listed. Reference links should keep official, Wikipedia, Google Maps, and OpenStreetMap sources together when available so users can move from the structured country guide to map or source pages quickly. The country dataset does not include a recent Gini entry for this profile.
How to use this profile
This Aruba profile is designed to be scanned in layers: first the name, official name, flag, capital, population, area, and density; then identity, geography, cities, governance, memberships, formats, connectivity, currency, languages, transport, and references. That structure supports both human readers and product workflows where users need to verify a phone code, compare cities, inspect fiscal dates, check postal formats, review memberships, or open a map reference without searching across multiple pages.
