The Netherlands is likely the only country where you could legally smoke a joint while riding a bicycle on a sea-reclaimed polder to attend your same sex partner's euthanasia appointment. It is also a kingdom with rich history of conquests and art, which since became an overpopulated bog with 16 million people crowding a small area - Europe's equivalent to Bangladesh.

Despite its harsh language which sounds like eating pigs, the Netherlands won the Eurovision 3 times in Dutch and once more in English. The last was in 1975 and they have lost the plot since.
