We have lots of flat land in .nl and most of it is unoccupied. So what is it good for? Well, plants and cows! We have so many cows here that we’ve become of the largest dairy exporters in the world.

Netherlands is called that way for a reason. The country is very, very, very flat (i.e.; nether). In fact, about half of it is below sea level. And big parts of it used to be sea, but we drained the sea out. What you’re left with is polders. We would like to think of them as a typically .nl invention.
