    Please. The Netherlands = one country. Denmark = one country.

    No, the danish currency is Kroner. Don't go changing facts just because you can't pronounce it.

    Maybe you don't even know the difference between then?
    I can't believe I'm doing this...

    In The Netherlands we speak Dutch.
    In Denmark they speak Danish

    The capital of The Netherlands is Amsterdam.
    The capital of Denmark is Copenhagen.

    The president of The Netherlands is Jan-Peter Balkenende.
    The president of Denmark is Lars Løkke Rasmussen.

    The Queen of The Netherlands is called Beatrix.
    The Queen of Denmark is calles Margaretha II

    The Netherlands has 16,5 million inhabitants.
    Denmark has 5,5 inhabitants.

    The currency of The Netherlands is the euro.
    The currency of Denmark is the crown.

    The Netherlands is borderd by the North Sea.
    Denmark is borderd by the Baltic Sea.

    And the list goes on and on. Is this enough for you people to realise The Netherlands and Denmark are two different countries? And do you realise it's a bit strange to ask about the differences? Just as strange asking about the differences between America and Mexico. Or America and Iran. Or America and China. Or South-Africa and Brazil. Or Spain and Venezuela.

    Why is this so hart to understand for you people? The Netherlands and Denmark are two different countries in Europe. The capitals are Amsterdam and Copenhagen. We do not share the same language, we do not even share a border. Asking about the differences is asking about the differences between America and Mexico.

    If you want to learn more, check Wikipedia. It even comes in simple English...

    Well if you had a look in a history book, you would actually learn something - normally they have included pictures of the topics. But how ould you know?

    Ha! See? Even you can't keep remember the difference.



    Admit it, even you find it impossible to tell the difference! [/QUOTE]Ahhh my friend, this i good. Really! Do not worry for me as i can clearly see the differnce, but as written in this thread before, Netherlands are very well know for their windmills. So is Denmark, but we are even more famous for our windTURBINES - and that was actually my reference. I will try to be more clear about these things in the future.

    The Netherlands in its entirety is often referred to as Holland, although North and South Holland are actually only two of its twelve provinces. The word Dutch is used to refer to the people, the language, and anything pertaining to the Netherlands. This lexical difference between the noun and the adjective is an attribute of the English language that does not exist in the Dutch language. The adjective 'Dutch' is derived from the language that was spoken in the area, called 'Diets', which equals Middle Dutch.

    The Netherlands is so closely associated with windmills, that it's often the first fact people recall about the country. The Dutch built windmills for many centuries (and to some extent, the windmills built the country itself, since without them much of the land drainage could not have occured).

    Indeed, Bathfire is a wise and Godly man.
    Not denmark, not Netherland, but Sweden. Its named after Alfred Nobel, the man who invented dynamite, that you used to build your country with.

    Hmm, I though Zealand was the capital of Denmark, as it was a Dutch chap (Abel Tasman) who discovered New Zealand; I've heard that the Denmarkish often like to be referred to as "Dutch". The Netherlands is where we get "nether regions" from.

However, politically, The Netherlands has a monarch and a coalition government in contrast to Denmark that has a monarch and a coalition government.

    For anyone who is still confused, may I suggest they remember that both countries drive on the same side of the road and use metric measurements.

    I hope that clears up the matter.

    * while children in both country are slower than average to achieve toilet training, Danish children take some what longer than the Dutch


    * Danish toddlers and children are slightly more likely to eat their own boogers, the Dutch more likely to eat other children's.


    * Dutch toddlers are somewhat more likely to wet the bed, the Danish children prefer to soil theirs


    * Catholic priests prefer Danish children to molest, but curiously, the Dutch children are less likely to report the abuse

    We are paying off the debts made by countries like Greece. At least we have to send people down to get a free lunch.

    It is expensive to run this kind of parliament. In the old days they met a 3 several places: Luxembourg, Strasbourg and Brussels. Then the chairs in Luxembourg turned out not to be wide enough with all this good food they got served just after they had finished an expansion of the building. In general they were tired of moving from their seats, so they tried to stop the use of other houses than the one in Brussels. They have good beer and chocolate in Belgium, that's why. But France objected so some days every month the officials wake the members and carry them to busses and then it is off to Strasbourg.
