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). |
3 | |
4 | Each of the provinces have three parts of their own government: the States-Provincial (Provinciale Staten), the Provincial-Executive (Gedeputeerde Staten) and the King's Commissioner (Commissaris van de Koning). |
