'''The Netherlands''' is a medium-sized country in the North-West of Europe. The Netherlands originally consists out of 4 regions, named after the 4 directions of the wind (Northern, Southern, Western and Eastern Netherlands). It borders with 6 regions of 4 foreign countries. It has a small but active population. The Netherlands had been on and off the map since 2011 due to the location of a historic [[Oil]] resource in the [[Western Netherlands]], which used to be a keen interest by {{CountryLink|Poland}}. Since the resource shuffle, the Netherlands is now standing pretty steady on the world map as the oil resource was removed from the region of Western Netherlands. At this moment, The Netherlands are renting their food and weapons resources to {{CountryLink|Iran}}.

Map of Netherlands

Last update 31 March 2023

The Netherlands is a medium-sized country in the North-West of Europe. The Netherlands originally consists out of 4 regions, named after the 4 directions of the wind (Northern, Southern, Western and Eastern Netherlands). It borders 6 regions of 4 foreign countries. It has a small but active population. The Netherlands had been on and off the map since 2011 due to the location of a historic Oil resource in the Western Netherlands, which used to be a keen interest by Icon-Poland.png Poland. Since the resource shuffle, the Netherlands is now standing pretty steady on the world map as the oil resource was removed from the region of Western Netherlands and replaced by iron, fish and sand. At this moment, The Netherlands are renting their resources to Icon-Canada.png Canada and Icon-Spain.png Spain.

Congress of the Netherlands.png Congress

The legislative chamber of the country is also referred to as Congress or Parliament. It debates laws and other proposals.

The Congress of the Netherlands is the highest legislative body. With a 66% percent majority, Congress can change anything. (In order to amend the constitution, two votes need to be held in two consecutive terms).

In the Netherlands, the Congress debates are public to all citizens, made through the articles released by UNL Binnenhof newspapers (with the exception of private or sensitive matters, which are solved via Congress mass messages). Voting is done in Congress mass messages, and the results of the vote are published in articles released by UNL Binnenhof newspapers. Every citizen of the Netherlands may participate in public Congress debates, however, only Congress members may vote on proposals. The Congress is managed by the Chairman of Congress and his deputy, they manage the debates (opening and closing debates and votes, tame the incidental flamewar)
