A country in Western Europe, known for its flat landscape, canals, windmills, and tulip fields. Its capital is Amsterdam, and its official language is Dutch.
From Dutch 'Nederland', meaning 'low country' or 'low lands' ('neder' = lower, 'land' = land). Much of the country lies at or below sea level, which matches the name.
The name 'Netherlands' is literally 'the low lands', and large parts of the country are protected from the sea by dikes and pumps. Some land was actually created by draining lakes and seas, showing how geography can be engineered over centuries.
