Also known as the Netherlands, the country is known for its flat landscape, many rivers and somewhat liberal policies toward drugs, prostitution and gay rights was the first non-English speaking country to offer higher education conducted in English especially designed for foreign students. Some historians also regard the Netherlands as the first capitalist country in the world.

The Netherlands is often called Holland, but this is formally incorrect and goes far back into the European history when the Dutch fleet sailed the world seas and made Holland renowned from China to Africa during the golden age. Actually, North and South Holland are only two of the country's twelve provinces in the western Netherlands.

Still today, the Netherland has kept its international stamp and host four international courts, as well as the EU's criminal intelligence agency (Europol). This has led to the city of Hague being referred to as "the world's legal capital."
