Headline text

The United Netherlands was the official name of the merger between the Icon-Netherlands.png Netherlands and Icon-Belgium.png Belgium that lasted for nearly a year. Belgium unofficially left the union in February 2010, however the Netherlands decided to keep the name United Netherlands (and it's abbreviation eUNL) as official name after that for another half-year until they changed it back to simply the Netherlands (eNL).

Regions

The United Netherlands had seven regions: Western Netherlands, Eastern Netherlands, Northern Netherlands, Southern Netherlands, Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia. Western Netherlands and Wallonia were the the most populated and Eastern Netherlands had the least amount of inhabitants.

Language

In real life Belgium, the Walloons speak French and the Flemish speak Dutch. The main language of the Dutch users is Dutch. Most citizens however spoke English quite well and the main language in the country was therefore English. Articles in newspapers and international messages were often written in English and sometimes accompanied by a Dutch and/or French translation. English was the official language used by the government and in congress.


History

Formation background

During the congress election on 25th March, 2009, Spanish citizens who called themselves "Las tropas imperiales" won a majority of the congressional seats, effecting in a political takeover. In response to this, president CreveRoeland decided to cede all Belgian territories to the Netherlands on the 5th April 2009, forming a union and preventing a Spanish president from being elected. The unification, that had gained major support, was a success. Without many troubles, both countries were unified under one flag. However, there were also Belgians that fled the country and moved to the United Kingdom.

Economy of the United Netherlands

The United Netherlands economy is driving on medium grain, grain... and grain (with high grain in the West Province).

The currency of the United Netherlands was the Dutch Guilder or Nederlandse Gulden (NLG) and the minimum wage was set at 4 NLG while the average is around 13.82 NLG (18 feb 2010). Because there were alot of BEF (Belgian Franc) going around after the merger, the Dutch government exchanged them at a rate of 1.6 NLG/BEF.

The country always had problems with a severe shortage of employees. Although the merger with the Belgians slightly changed this, at that time around 100 extra employees were needed to fill the active companies. But this is now changed completely. There are training companies from the government in all skills and all companies can get enough employees.
