2	Contrary to popular belief, the term "Holland" is not actually the name of the whole country, but the name of two of the twelve provinces of UsefulNotes/TheNetherlands. The Netherlands consists of 19 subdivisions, of three sub-categories: 12 provinces in the mainland, 3 special municipalities and 4 countries (the latter two are in the Caribbean).
