Curaçao is a Caribbean island that is formerly part of the NETHERLANDS ANTILLES, which was dissolved (as shown in the Netherlands Antilles post's update). Therefore, Curaçao is now a constituent country that is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which also has the constituent countries of Aruba, Sint Maarten, and of course, Netherlands. Curaçao is pronounced 'cure-a-sow'. Curacao — without the cedilla on the lowercase C — is an acceptable spelling of this island territory. Curaçao's capital is Willemstad.
