Map of Holland

The Hollands (Netherland) is a unique country with about 30% of its land reclaimed from the sea. Pumps and old windmills work around the clock to keep the country from being overrun by the North Sea. Part of the charm of the Netherlands, of course are its polders - the long vast, flat stretches of land that serve agriculture well including the thousands of fields of colorful tulips, daffodils and bulb flowers witnessed every spring. Amsterdam's canals, museums and trams provide pleasant surroundings for the visitor and invite the visitor to explore the rest of the country.

The Holland remained neutral in World War I, but suffered invasion and occupation by Germany in World War II. A modern, industrialized nation, the Holland / Netherlands is also a large exporter of agricultural products. The country was a founding member of NATO and the EC (now the EU), and participated in the introduction of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) in 1999.
