Missing data for "Caribbean Netherlands"

[arvindkartik]

"id": 136251281,
"name": "Caribbean Netherlands",
"placetype": "dependency",

There is no short name/abbr present in the DB even though the data is present in WhosOnFirst.

Hi @arvindkartik,

The record 136251281 is available in the latest placeholder build as seen here:

You are correct in saying that there is no abbreviation, what were you expecting to see?

Hi @missinglink , When i checked for other dependencies, like

"id": 85632731,
"name": "Bermuda",
"abbr": "BMU",
we do get a 3 digit abbreviation for them.

Caribbean Netherlands consists of three places (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba) all of which have the same ISO code "BES". So for Caribbean Netherlands maybe we can have a "abbr": "BES". Or we can go by the parent empire (Netherlands) and can make it "NL" or "NLD". Though "BES" is the correct value
