The nation’s football team, which is often referred to abroad as Holland, will solely be called the Netherlands in any official setting

Freedom for Vorarlberg!

(almost literally - they voted massively to join Switzerland after WW1, but it never happened)

Bit weak on my Dutch history

Did they ever have any big beefs with the austro Hungarians or have they always been sound and just tradey

Right that a couple of years ago the Netherlands decided to call themselves the Netherlands in all official documentation after years of using the Netherlands/Holland interchangeably. Eurovision 2019 was the hostoric event where they changed from Holland to the Netherlands.

They're a nation built on silt deposited from the Rhine. Predominantly from Germany.

As I pointed out to a Dutch boss, you are a country built in German excrement. How we laughed.

They don't like Germany tbf.

They are Northern neighbors to Belgium . Belgium has 200 fantastic beers that are mostly unknown. Netherlands have 2-3 okish lagers that are sold the world over.

Nation of traders indeed. Superb business people.

Also very tall.

Up de Nederland's!

I think calling Bunks’ threads an official setting is probably over-egging it a little tbf.
