Note: "The Netherlands" and "Holland" are used interchangeably, though actually Holland is the name of the two major provinces, Noord Holland and Zuid Holland. For all practical purposes, either name is OK. The people are "Nederlanders," "Hollanders," or "Dutch." Some of them like to call themselves a "Kaaskop", "cheese head," but that is not very complimentary so hold back on using that word. I call them "Dutchies" and they don't seem to mind. "Yanks" is their name for Americans.
