Following the declaration of independence,
the provinces of Holland, Zeeland,
Groningen, Friesland, Utrecht, Overijssel,
and Gelderland entered into a
confederation. All these duchies, lordships
and counties enjoyed a significant degree
of autonomy and was governed by its own
administrative body known as the States-
Provincial. The confederal government,
known as the States General, was
headquartered in The Hague and
comprised representatives from each of
the seven provinces. The sparsely
populated region of Drenthe was also part
of the republic, albeit not considered a
province in its own right. Moreover, during
the Eighty Years' War, the Republic came
to occupy a number of Generality Lands
located in Flanders, Brabant and Limburg.
These areas were primarily inhabited by
Roman Catholics and lacked a distinct
governmental structure of their own. They
were utilized as a buffer zone between the
Republic and the Spanish-controlled
Southern Netherlands.[76]

during the 19th century.
William Frederick, son of the last
stadtholder, returned to the Netherlands in
1813 and proclaimed himself Sovereign
Prince of the Netherlands. Two years later,
the Congress of Vienna added the
southern Netherlands to the north to
create a strong country on the northern
border of France. William Frederick raised
this United Netherlands to the status of a
kingdom and proclaimed himself as King
William I in 1815.[88] In addition, William
became hereditary Grand Duke of
Luxembourg in exchange for his German
possessions. However, the Southern
Netherlands had been culturally separate
from the north since 1581, and rebelled.
The south gained independence in 1830
as Belgium (recognised by the Northern
Netherlands in 1839 as the Kingdom of the
Netherlands was created by decree), while
the personal union between Luxembourg
and the Netherlands was severed in 1890,
when William III died with no surviving
male heirs. Ascendancy laws prevented
his daughter Queen Wilhelmina from
becoming the next Grand Duchess.[89]
Decolonisation
Government-encouraged emigration
efforts to reduce population density
prompted some 500,000 Dutch people to
leave the country after the war.[105] The
1960s and 1970s were a time of great
social and cultural change, such as rapid
de-pillarisation characterised by the decay
of the old divisions along political and
religious lines. Students and other youth
rejected traditional mores and pushed for
change in matters such as women's rights,
sexuality, disarmament and environmental
issues. In 2002 the euro was introduced as
fiat money, and in 2010 the Netherlands
Antilles was dissolved. Referendums were
held on each island to determine their
future status. As a result, the islands of
Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba (the BES
islands) were to obtain closer ties with the
Netherlands. This led to the incorporation
of these three islands into the country of
the Netherlands as special municipalities
upon the dissolution of the Netherlands
Antilles. The special municipalities are
collectively known as the Caribbean
Netherlands.[106]

Political culture
De Wallen, Amsterdam's red-light district offers activities such as legal prostitution, symbolizing the Dutch political culture
and tradition of tolerance.
Both trade unions and employers
organisations are consulted beforehand in
policymaking in the financial, economic
and social areas. They meet regularly with
the government in the Social-Economic
Council. This body advises government
and its advice cannot be put aside easily.
The Netherlands has a culture of respectful and friendly debate. From left to right, members of the House of

Demographics
The Netherlands had an estimated
population of 17,493,969 as of 30 April
2021.[160] It is the 5th most densely
populated country in Europe, and except
for Malta and very small city-states like
Monaco, Vatican City and San Marino, it is
the most densely populated country in
Europe. It is also the 16th most densely
populated country in the world with a
density of 424 per square kilometre
(1,100/sq mi) and the 67th most populous
country in the world. Between 1900 and
1950, the country's population almost
doubled from 5.1 to 10 million. From 1950
to 2000, the population further increased,
to 15.9 million, though this represented a
lower rate of population growth.[193]
