The Netherlandsball, also known as Weedball Tom Hollandball, is Orange and Drowning a dimension in Minecraft Western European countryball. Drugs are legal (drug addicts are given rehab, while foreigners possessing drugs are escorted back to their native country), with people being allowed to buy up to five grams of marijuana in coffee shops. Officially, it’s illegal to buy weed from coffee shops and often frowned upon to smoke weed in most public places. Nevertheless, people are able to grow up to three plants of it in the privacy of their own home. The Netherlands also legalises abortion and euthanasia. Its eyes are sometimes red because the Netherlandsball is on drugs. The Netherlands was also the first nation to officially legalize gay marriage, back in 2001. Known for dikes, dams and polders. EUball fears that it will do Nexit after UKball's Brexit.

Its clay is bordered by Germanyball on the east, and Belgiumball on the south. It also borders Franceball with Sint Maartenball. Its maritime border is the North Sea where is partly surrounded by its northern and western clay. Its clay is divided into 12 provinces and three special municipalities in the Caribbean. The Netherlands should not be confused with Holland (because those are two provinces). Including its capital, Amsterdamball where is placed on North Hollandball. As a result, its clay has a total of 41 526 square kilometres (16485 square mile for USAball ) making it the 131st largest country in the world. As of January 2022, its population is exact 17,597607 million people, and is the 67th (nice) populous country in the world. The country has a high population density of 457 square kilometres (1183 square mile for USAball ) as of 2018 (thats high) and its with that the 29th most populous country in population density as of 2018.

History

Netherlandsball is the adopted child of Spainball, and it was born in the 1500s. It was taken away by its half sibling Austriaball but got its independence in 1648 after fighting a war with it, helped by its Franceball, and changed its name from the long Spanish Netherlandsball to Dutch Republicball.

Dutch participation in the Atlantic slave trade started in Brazilball, the Caribbean, and North America. The area where the company could operate consisted of West Africa (between the Tropic of Cancer and the Cape of Good Hope) and the Americas, which included the Pacific Ocean and the eastern part of New Guinea. The intended purpose of the charter was to eliminate competition, particularly Spainball or Portugalball, between the various trading posts established by the merchants. The company became instrumental in the largely ephemeral Dutch colonization of the Americas (including New Netherlandball) in the seventeenth century. From 1624 to 1654, in the context of the Dutch-Portuguese War, the GWC held Portugalball clay in northeast Brazilball, but they were ousted from Dutch Brazilball following fierce resistance.

Around this time, it developed interests such as navigation, trade, and colonising, as seen part of Dutch East Indiesball (now known as Indonesiaball), Dutch Formosaball (now known as Taiwanball) and Surinameball. Its clay was occupied by Franceball, in 1795-6, and when it left in 1814, it changed its name to United Kingdom of the Netherlandsball, still unaware of its children with Franceball, Belgiumball, and Luxembourgball, later delivered and raised by UKball.

In the Great War, Netherlandsball chose to remain neutral as its neighbors Reichtangle and UKball fought over its estranged child Belgiumball's clay but was beaten by Nazi Germanyball in 1940, and its clay was anschlussed for four years, along with all the Jewcubes it had sheltered from Nazi Germanyball.

After its distant cousin Canadaball liberated it, it reluctantly gave its children Indonesiaball independence in 1945, and Surinameball independence in 1975. It joined the EU, its cousin in 1957 as a founding member, and now spends its days smoking weed hanging out with its smoking buddies Jamaicaball and Uruguayball, and building dams. It is also a founding member of NATOball in 1949.

In 2001, it legalized Same-sex marriage, being the first country to legalize it.

In 2019, it won Eurovision for the first time in 44 years. Sadly, it cannot host Eurovision 2020 because it and surrounding European balls are too affected by the coronavirus, but it hosted in 2021 instead, crowning Italyball as the winner.

Personality

Netherlandsball is usually very high happy and relaxed by nature due to its laid back and easygoing personality, and due to its country's typically pacifistic morals. Sometimes it can be found smoking weed hanging out with Jamaicaball and/or Uruguayball. It loves the color orange and is friendly to most other countries. It actually has a lot of money and is a very good swimmer since most of the time its clay is underwater.

Provinces

Map of Netherlandsball's provinceballs and neighboring countryballs. Credits to GeorgiusNL

• North Hollandball - It's the main reason why people see me as stoned and overly tolerant. Tourists go here to profit from our gedoogbeleid, our canals and the bench from The Fault In Our Stars.
• South Hollandball- It's the sibling of North Hollandball and has the largest population of all provinces, the biggest harbour of Europe, the parliament and the government. Also known for crowded beaches and tulips.
• Drentheball - Virtually nonexistent for most people. Known for its prehistorical dolmens, but that's it.
• Flevolandball - Biggest artificial island in the world. We don't even know why we created this boring flat land in the middel of the lake. Home of the Dutch Alabama (formerly an island).
• Frieslandball - Farmer, cows, speaks Frisian. Also, a lot of skaters and Elfstedentocht (constantly hopes for it to happen despite global warming). Owns a lot of islands in the Wadden sea, great for tourists.
• Gelderlandball - Its name sounds like money in Dutch. It has a lot of students (mostly in the south), woodies, motor crossers, bike lanes, orchards and farmers in general.
• Groningenball - Northernmost province of The Netherlands. More farmers and cows and has a lot of natural gas reserves. Suffers earthquakes because of gas. Don't say he is a Frisian. It also has a university and some communists.
• Limburgball - Has the only mountain in the country. Home of André Rieu, Max Verstappen, many prominent race cyclists, and the manufacturer of the roughest roller coasters in the world. Eats lots of vlaai. Celebrates a lot of carnivals. It is almost Belgian.
• North Brabantball - Home of the Efteling (the greatest theme park in the world!), forests, bars, Guus Meeuwis, Snollebollekes, the nation's biggest tech hub, beautiful, pre-industrial cities, worstenbroodjes and Bossche bollen. Calls patat by the name friet. Breathes Catholicism culturally. Carnival is where he lives for. It is, like Limburgball, almost Belgian.
• Overijsselball - Farmers, Hansa cities, tech students and streams. Not much else.
• Utrechtball - Smallest province by area. Still, 1.268.489 inhabitants, and the busiest train stations. Has the biggest bicycle stall in the world to accomodate a large amount of train commuters.
• Zeelandball - Beach territory. The sea almost killed it in 1953, and built some serious water-defense tech afterwards. Tries to convince all of mij people to come and visit it. In the winter. Also renowned for baking great bolus. Home of Danny Vera, who managed to beat Queen in Top 2000.
