This page was generated on 20 September 2026 at 12:27 UTC. The bundled facts on it were retrieved between 13 July 2026 and 5 August 2026. Aletheia's source record for emergency numbers records no retrieval date, so it is not covered by that range.
This page is being built. Everything below is a block that is in place and empty. Each one says which kind of empty it is, because those are different facts: nobody has looked yet is not the same claim as we looked and there was nothing, and this page will never let one stand in for the other.
Country outlines on Aletheia come from Natural Earth's 1:10-million public-domain boundary set, made by volunteer cartographers and supported by NACIS. Where a border is disputed, the line drawn is one cartographic convention among the competing claims — not a settled fact, and not Aletheia taking a side. Disputes we can source are listed rather than hidden inside the outline.
Aruba is filled. No other country reaches this view. Unpainted ground is where no boundary in this dataset falls: open water, or land none of them claims.
Nothing is hatched because no disputed area in this source overlaps Aruba. That is not a finding that none exists — the source says plainly that its list is not exhaustive.
Boundaries: Natural Earth (public domain), 1:10m. Disputed areas: Natural Earth (public domain). Equirectangular projection, standard parallel 12.5°N — distances and areas away from that parallel are stretched. View: 70.1°W–69.9°W, 12.4°N–12.7°N.
Disputed areas
none listedNo disputed area in this source overlaps Aruba. That is not a finding that none exists — the source says plainly that its list is not exhaustive.
News sources
not yet researchedNo news source from this country is in Aletheia's registry yet. Nobody has assessed the media landscape here — that is a gap in our work, not a finding about this country.
Official alerts
no source connectedAletheia's alerts screen has no entry for this country, so no official warning source is connected here. That is a limit on our coverage, not a statement that this country issues no warnings.
National legislature
no source connectedNo official legislature website has been verified for this country. Absence here means no domain-verified authoritative source was found — never that no legislature exists.

Population and economy
Population
Population of Aruba: the UN's 2025 estimate is 108,785 people. The page shows that figure carried forward at about 2.2 more a day. It is a projection, not a count, and the figure shown changes as time passes.
Not a count. This is the UN's 2025 estimate carried forward at the rate implied by the two most recent published years — arithmetic, not a measurement. Nobody counts a country continuously, and the true figure right now is unknown.
Where this number comes from
- Base figure
- 108,785 people
- For the year
- 2025 — a mid-year estimate, so it describes 1 July 2025
- Compared with
- 107,995 people in 2024
- Rate applied
- about 2.2 more a day (791 a year)
- How that rate was found
- The difference between the 2024 and 2025 estimates, divided by the time between them. It is our arithmetic on two published figures — the source does not publish this rate.
- Carried forward
- 0 days beyond the base figure's date
- Source
- UN World Population Prospects and national statistical offices, compiled by the World Bank · source updated 2026-07-13
- The source's own definition
- The values shown are midyear estimates.
THIS NUMBER IS NOT A MEASUREMENT, AND ITS MOVEMENT IS NOT NEWS. No country counts its population continuously. A census is periodic, and every figure between censuses — including the estimate this starts from — is a projection. What you are watching is that projection's trend applied to the clock on your phone. It moves because time passes, not because anyone was born or died. Treat the digits beyond the first few as arithmetic rather than knowledge: the trend is real, the precision is not.

World Heritage Sites
Coverage limitedWe hold no World Heritage entry for this country, but our read of the register is not known to be complete, so this is not a finding of none. 6 inscribed sites are in the register and reach no page here — the source records no country for them, so they could belong to any country. That is why an empty result anywhere cannot be read as an absence.
Emergency numbers
- 911
Shown in numerical order, which is not an order of priority.
Listed by the source, mostly from ITU-T E.129. We have not dialled these numbers, and where a service is named it is the source's description rather than ours.

News coverage here is counted from Aletheia’s bundled source registry plus the sources the Host had admitted as of 2026-09-14. A source admitted since that date has not reached this page yet, so this is a floor rather than a total.
