The Netherlands (aka Holland) is the 30th most densely populated country or territory in the world and the densest country in Europe with a over 10 million people. So it’s understandable that the Dutch might think that their country is a little bit crowded. However, the map above flips this idea on its head. Instead of thinking of the Netherlands as a densely populated country, it looks at the Netherlands as if it were a relatively empty city.
The Netherlands are just slightly larger than New York City (or, New Amsterdam). Mother and daughter.
