Where in the world: Holland is the beloved name for the western coastal provinces of the Netherlands — North and South Holland — and the name many people around the world use for the whole country. It sits in Western Europe on the North Sea coast, with Germany to the east and Belgium to the south. Its capital is Amsterdam, and its seat of government is The Hague.
People: about 18 million inhabitants. Dutch and Frisians make up about 75.4% of the population, with other Europeans at about 6.4%, and the largest non-European origin groups being Turkish (2.4%), Moroccan (2.4%), Surinamese (2.1%) and Indonesian (2.0%) (2021 estimates, CIA World Factbook).
Language: Dutch is the official language, and Frisian is co-official in the province of Friesland. English is very widely spoken.
