We even have a second language which is only spoken in one small northern part of the country.
Do you mean Friesland? Wow, that place is gorgeous! Also, Freisian is the closest modern language to Old English. "In het libensconcert, krijt nimmen en programme."
I'm torn on which flag to fly. I'm American, and live in Texas, and I also lived in Holland in my formative years, and loved it there. OK, rolling the dice.
Solidarity for under-represented Netherlands, it is. I'm not a citizen, but I lived there for 18 glorious months, and it was amazing. The people were so very friendly, and welcomed us right off. The land is beautiful! The culture is terrific. I mean, where else would you find a statue of a cow, labeled, "Us Mem"? Right in the middle of town. I was particularly fond of the leaning tower of Leeuwarden, and the amazing grass they had there. I've never seen any other grass quite that shade before or since. Also, I love the bicycle culture there, and really wish that we could get bicycle paths all over town, so it would actually be SAFE to ride a bike around, instead of the risky business it is here in America. Good for the pocketbook, the environment, and our bodies! And finally, that is where I learned the secret to good chicken soup: celery. It's not soup without the groene fleckjes. Please forgive my spelling. I haven't spoken Dutch in decades and spell-check is annoying.

All of my other projects should be moved to the graveyard. I had to uninstall/reinstall, and my back-ups are SOMEWHERE, but I can't guarantee I'll ever find them, let alone get them set-up again. In the meantime, I am starting over.
Coming soon: BACC - Simburgdorptonville.
