Asked by Wiki User
Aruba is a country. Specifically, it's a constituent country in that it's considered an autonomous state within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It also is considered an island country, or island nation, because its main territory is made up of one or more islands.
It was the Aruban sense of identity of themselves as Arubans within the framework of the Kingdom of the Netherlands that impelled them to seek and gain autonomy on January 1, 1986. But Aruba postponed completely defining themselves only as Arubans by halting the movement toward independence in 1990.
