Geography
Much of the land in the Netherlands is reclaimed from the North Sea and is below sea level. In order to keep the country from flooding, a complex series of dikes and sea walls have been constructed, and the Dutch are world-leaders in dike technology. The Kingdom of the Netherlands also includes the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.World Factbook: NetherlandsBicycling
Because of the flat nature of the Netherlands' geography, the bicycle is the primary form of transportation in the country. In fact, there are more bicycles in the Netherlands than there are people. It is not uncommon to see young business people and senior citizens sharing bicycle paths during the morning commute.Good Money: Hold the Windmills! Eco-Touring Holland-
