>The first european to find NZ was a Dutch sea-captain who was looking for something else. It takes its name from a province of Holland to which it does not bear the remotest likeness, and is usually regarded as the antipodes of England, but is not. Taken possession of by an English navigator, whose action was afterwards reversed by his country's rulers, it was only annexed by the English Government which did not want it, to keep it from the French who did.

The Netherlands used to be a couple of smaller regions bonding together to stand against other larger empires such as Great Britain to secure more trade routes and enrich ourselves.
Due to conflicts with Spain and Great Britain we first lost Belgium. Later on when we got our first Queen instead of a King, Luxembourg also left us because they wouldn't serve a female monarch.

My history teacher in high school told me it's very unique country among European civilization.

I'm sorry for the WW2.

Amsterdam is beautiful. But I wouldn't live there. Because your country looks defenseless against tsunami.

Thanks for the knowledge and technology for the modernization. A journalist from your country achieved a great study of modern Japan.

Work sharing looks great and clever.

All in all, Netherlands gives me positive impression. But your culture isn't fully understandable for people of far east. European history and cultures are generally too complicated and too deep. WTF was "Belgian X-File"?

>>55049836

>>55049935
Why is it so unique?
Aren't we quite alike actually?

You also have feudal era in which you had lot of tiny regions and eventually they formed into one country.
The circumstances under which they were unified are just a bit different.

>>55050085
I must admit I didn't study European history. But your history throughly looks full of wars, political fights and conspiracies. Also, European countries have classes which divides people. Compared to Europe, the histories of East Asia or Japan look a lot simpler.

It really is 'Netherland', actually.. Formally the Kindom is called 'Koninkrijk der Nederlanden' which is Kingdom of the Netherlands, but the country itself, where Holland makes up 2/12 provinces is called 'Nederland', which would be 'Netherland' technically.

>>55052199

Still this means you're supporting players from 2 provinces. Not the country.

Funny how that made it into Polish, I mean "Alemannic" makes at least some sense in French as they're directly bordering it (or "Saxon" in Finnish, probably from Hanseatic times), but seen from Poland, Swabians live on the opposite side of the country

I like Brabant and Overijssel and Gelderland and Utrecht, so the Netherlands shouldn't really rename their country the Kingdom of Holland.

But Holland is just so much nicer sounding and easier to say. And it's just weird to have "The" in your country's name, it just sounds artificial. There's a reason why most Americans just say America and don't insist on referring to it as the United States all the time.

"Nederland" is a nice compromise for the new English name though. It's shorter and rolls off the tongue better than "the Netherlands", which is just clunky.
