About Netherlands

The Netherlands, in its full name the Kingdom of the Netherlands, also known as Holland, is the state in Western Europe with the overseas territories in the Caribbean. The Netherlands was one of the EU's founders, but it didn't take its Constitution. It is included in Benelux.

The Netherlands is the country with steadily growing economy, one of the lowest unemployment rates in the EU and developed system of social security.

Tulips, windmills and legalization of soft drugs made the Netherlands so popular in the world.
