Detailed Country Guide

Overview and identity

Martinique, officially listed here as Martinique, is structured as a practical country reference guide for users searching country facts, maps, flags, codes, and daily-use data. The page should make Martinique, MQ, MTQ, 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. Martinique 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 378,243 people and a land area of 1,128 square kilometers, which gives an approximate density of 335 people per square kilometer. The main coordinate reference is 14.666667, -61, while the capital coordinate reference is 14.6, -61.08. Martinique 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 Fort-de-France (primary). The largest city entries shown for this country are Fort-de-France, Le Lamentin, Le Robert, Schœlcher and Ducos. Including cities alongside country-level facts helps the guide answer searches such as largest cities in Martinique, capital of Martinique, and major urban areas in Martinique. This is useful because many users compare the official capital with the largest business, transport, or population centers.

Government, classification, and memberships

The government type is listed as not listed. 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 European Union, Eurozone and Schengen Area. These fields support search intent around political status, country classification, and international organization membership.

Administrative formats and daily-use data

Martinique uses calling code +596, postal format #####, and time zone data listed as UTC-04:00. The number format uses . as the thousands separator and , as the decimal separator. 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 EUR - Euro (€), while language records include French. Vehicle data records the driving side as right and vehicle sign codes as F. 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 Martinique 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.
