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

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-
