    What country is named for a Dutch prince?

    Question #96713. Asked by author. (Jun 17 08 9:00 AM)

    		I believe it is the island nation of Mauritius.

    "Three ships of the eight Dutch Second Fleet that were sent to the Spice Islands were blown off course during a cyclone and landed on the island in 1598, naming it in honour of Prince Maurice of Nassau, the Stadtholder of the Netherlands."
