The Dutch district of Lower Prince of Sint Maarten (Dutch: Prinsenkwartier) is located in the southern part of the island of Sint Maarten in the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea, and is one of the four main administrative districts of Sint Maarten, a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Known for its peaceful residential setting and proximity to the capital city of Phillipsburg, the district covers an area of approximately 12 square kilometers, is relatively sparsely populated, and is characterized by a mixture of Caribbean culture and Dutch colonial history. The Lower Prince's area is adjacent to the famous Maho Beach and the Princess Juliana International Airport, where visitors can experience a unique view of airplanes passing by at low altitude. Economically dependent on tourism, it is surrounded by resorts and dining facilities, while retaining a traditional Caribbean flavor. Conveniently located with easy access to the island's attractions by road, it is an ideal base for exploring St. Maarten's natural beauty and historical sites.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
