Its official Holland does not exist.

SINGLE DUTCH Holland WON’T exist anymore as country officially ‘rebrands’ as the Netherlands – costing over £170k
TOURISTS have long been confused about the difference between Holland and the Netherlands - the two names that have been used to refer to the same European country.

But that confusion will end in January 2020 when the country plans to drop the name Holland.

Wennen aan The Netherlands, want Holland bestaat niet langer

The biggest problem will be football supporters. Their collective brain will never understand.

A direct translation of 'neder'. An old word seldom used. Only one good example is 'nederlaag' a defeat.
