Netherlands - Statistics & Facts
The Netherlands is located in Western Europe on the North Sea, bordered by Germany and Belgium. The country’s name is quite appropriate, as about one quarter of the Netherlands is below sea level. The Netherlands is known for famous artists such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, Van Gogh and Mondrian, and for its long-time history as one of the most important maritime trading nations. In recent times, the Netherlands has also been a leading supporter of international cooperation.
