	Netherlands - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		The Netherlands (Dutch: Nederland; IPA pronunciation: /"ne:dərlant/) is the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands that is formed by the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.(Dutch: Koninkrijk der Nederlanden).
		The Netherlands is one of the most densely populated and geographically low-lying countries in the world (its name literally means "low country") and is famous for its dikes, windmills, wooden shoes, tulips, bicycles and social tolerance.
		Political scientists consider The Netherlands a classic example of a consociational state, at least in part caused by the necessity in the Netherlands since the middle ages for different cities to cooperate in order to fight the water (different cities were at the time like different countries by today's standards, and often at war).

	Netherlands Antilles politics: Autonomous History
		Democracy is quite young in the Netherlands Antilles, and hardly existed before 1936 when the Colony of Curaçao was replaced by the Gebiedsdeelen Overzee and the islands got a measure of independence - just in time to be able to cope with governing problems in World War II.
		In 1948, the Colony of Curaçao was transformed to the Netherlands Antilles; even women got voting rights at the same time.
		It was easy for Dutch politicians to grab their cut from the development funds, especially since the tradition of W.I.C. "government" in the West Indies had always been to underpay their workers, as they could augment their meager salaries from kickbacks.
