No, Denmark should be flatland. The Netherlands already is named one of "the Low Countries".

My experience in the Netherlands extends only as far as taking a train from AMS to Germany, and walking around in Utrecht for 20 minutes. The newer architecture reminds me of living in a set of Resident Evil. It's all rainy but new-looking everywhere, with everything running smoothly and seamlessly.

I guess the cons are it being located below sea level in many parts, the weather, and the small size - although that could also be an advantage. The lack of open space would drive me nuts.

How could you seriously see it as a good thing?! No wonder why there is no more morality and respect in our society, and crime rates are increasing because those people don't fear God.

When the weather is good (which isn't often) it can be a nice place to visit for a few days, after that it's boring. People are judgemental and the majority aren't keen on speaking english to non tourists.

G-d created the dutch then the rest, common saying and 99% believe this! That is a major problem I find with dutch people in general
