The Netherlands


The Netherlands is a small country located in North-west Europe. It's bordered by Germany, Belgium, and the North Sea. My state of Pennsylvania in the United States is more than twice as big as the Netherlands. The main language is Dutch. The government is a constitutional monarchy and as of now they are governed by Queen Beatrix. The capital is Amsterdam. Other big cities are Utrecht, Rotterdam, and The Hague. Most people associate windmills, cheese, tulips, and clogs to the country. Then when it comes to Amsterdam most people I know only think of the sex and drugs in the city, but there really is more.
