Um, um.... Ummm....
Is that the one where it's under Sea level and they have dam like things holding the sea off?
Also is that the one with the reputation, where pretty much anything is legal and anything can goes, compared to the surrounding countries being a lot more stricter?

2nd go round...it appears that the Netherlands may be near the cradle of a second human race on earth simply because they are near Basque, which is the origin of that race. Green eyes are one of the characteristics, as is RH negative blood.

Beautiful Tulips, prized growers. Vast swathes of color across fields of companies shipping around the world.
4meAndyou · F
@SethGreene531 Tulip bulbs used to be a sort of currency during the Renaissance in Holland. They were immensely valuable back then.
SethGreene531 · M
@4meAndyou Yes I've heard that. Similar to items throughout history traded in other countries as currency. 👍
Soph03 · 18-21, F
@SethGreene531 so true
Stopmakingsense · 56-60, F
And a third fact-. In addition to being nationalist fascists, they turned their back on the world in the climate crisis.v they're fossil fuels globally, a fake clean at home in Holland.

Also they have a Royal family Queen 👑 Maxima is very glamorous and probably one of the most educated royal person in the world
Soph03 · 18-21, F
@SW-User yes but I don't think she was born into royalty

A retired couple moved into the world's first 3d printed home in the Netherlands recently.
It's a flat country, most of the land is reclaimed from the sea.

Nederlanders kunnen directer zijn dan de meeste mensen gewend zijn... 🤭
FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M
@HootyTheNightOwl Dat is zeker waar!
@FeetAreFantastic Ja ... in het begin was ik beledigd - totdat ik me realiseerde dat hun hart op de juiste plaats zit.
Nu is het iets dat ik ben gaan waarderen - en ik wou dat meer landen niet zo bang waren om te zeggen wat ze rechtstreeks bedoelen.

They have some impressive engineering on the seawalls along the north sea
Soph03 · 18-21, F
@Callmewhatyouwill Absolutely. Look at our levees
@Soph03 I have. Many times
meJess · F
It’s pretty flat, I think the highest point is 50 metres or so
EuphoricTurtle · 41-45, M
The most amazing flood prevention program in the world.
Soph03 · 18-21, F
@EuphoricTurtle Yes we learn a lot about those in school
Your country has a very clever way of dealing with floodwater.
DaddyThomas · 46-50, M
@FIBBY yeah, google Delta works
Paulypeeps · 46-50, F
Everyone has at least one bicycle - its the law!
DaddyThomas · 46-50, M
@Paulypeeps very funny 😄 but no it is just handy but not by law.

All the shore line was once under sea
dancingtongue · 80-89, M
It includes more than just the European country we used to know as Holland. Some former colonies, like Curacao, are actually part of the country which is why some of their baseball players have been knighted and why the Netherlands always has one of the strongest baseball teams in Europe.
NerdyPotato · M
@dancingtongue and even the mainland is more than Holland. There are 10 more provinces besides North-Holland and South-Holland.
Dshhh · M
they have survived layers of conquest that would have exterminated most peoples
when they nee3ded more land? The BUILT it
in the oldne, days a dutch flag was often enough make the pirates turn away
" those bastards will fight to the death to protect a few barrels of salt. not worth the effort!"

Stopmakingsense · 56-60, F
Here's another-. They've abandoned the fight against fascism. Geert Wilders is a typical Dutch person.
Stopmakingsense · 56-60, F
@NerdyPotato when I was a young single mom they were targeting moms in Holland for false welfare fraud. Rutte was in on it. My state in America used the same formula to target me.
@NerdyPotato Yes... but I get told off for saying things like that, though.
I have to be very careful about what I say about the Netherlands on the whole.

@HootyTheNightOwl that's a shame. In dangerous trends like these, it's important to point out the facts, no matter how ugly there are. That's the only wat to make the public aware of what's going on and to stop and reverse the trend.
TakenDown232 · 46-50, M
You have sex streets
DaddyThomas · 46-50, M
@TakenDown232 thats called the red light district, but it’s a lot smaller now. By the way, prostitution is legal in the Netherlands

Liberal drug policies.

De Stijl (Neoplasticism) art movement founded by Mondrian and van Doesburg was one of the most important contributions to abstract art in the 20th Century.
BalmyNites · F
Aka Holland, your weather is very similar to the UK & you also have a Queen 💜
NerdyPotato · M
@BalmyNites Holland is actually only two of the twelve provinces, but that's such a common misconception that it is indeed often used as a synonym for the entire country. The rest is spot on!
BalmyNites · F
@NerdyPotato Yes, I do actually know that 😉
DaddyThomas · 46-50, M
@BalmyNites the Netherlands is not the same as Holland

There is an amazing market hall in Rotterdam that has the world's largest work of art and attracts more visitors than the Eiffel tower.

@SW-User pole vaulting is used to cross ditches. Not rivers.

I know that if were not for a system of levees, the country would be almost entirely under water now.
FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M
@4meAndyou large parts of it for sure
LadyShagworthy · 26-30, F
There’s a region within call Frisia that has its only language and sometimes makes a move or two to be independent.

Half the population of SW are unable to recognise Dutch - even when it is posted in a group called "Dutch language".

I have both Dutch and Irish heritage. The Dutch have a long history of speed skating. My great grandfather and grandfather were speed skating champions in western New York State. Both would skate on the frozen Genesee River into the city of Rochester. I have a pair of my great grandfather’s skates hanging in my apartment.
