Everybody has heard of the Netherlands, but there are a lot of interesting things you might not know about it. The country's name comes from the Dutch word meaning "low country", a reference to the Netherlands' low elevation. 25% of the country is actually below sea level! And only 50% of the country is at an elevation of 1 meter or higher. Much of the country's land is reclaimed land, meaning that they created land where there used to be water. This ongoing process is accomplished using a system of dams, and traditionally, windmills to pump out the water. To illustrate the extent of this land reclamation, note that almost the entire province of Flevoland was reclaimed from the Zuiderzee.
Another thing that many people don't know about the Netherlands is that it's actually a kingdom containing four constituent countries: Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten. The latter three are all located in the Caribbean.
