1994 Sint Maarten status referendum

A status referendum was held on the island of Sint Maarten in October 1994. The referendum was the result of a discussion about the future of the Netherlands Antilles, following the secession of Aruba in 1986. While most politicians, including the government of the Netherlands Antilles and the island government campaigned in favour of secession of Sint Maarten to make it form a country of its own within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the option of retaining and restructuring the Netherlands Antilles came out in favour. This resulted in the rise of the Party for the Restructured Antilles.[1]

gollark: Proper sandboxing is extremely hard. But if you want to protect against people/things not actively attempting to break it you can do quite well.
gollark: What happened to make you want to avoid programming anyway?
gollark: I don't really care enough about replacing DokuWiki now to pay money for it.
gollark: Well, I'm not a very good programmer, I dislike some aspects of the design but can't figure out how to neatly replace them, and I am REALLY bad at focusing on large projects.
