I will never get over the fact that I was at a trivia night with some friends, and one of the questions was "Name as many countries as you can that border France," and the trivia host refused to accept the Netherlands as an answer. I had literally been to Sint Maarten and crossed the border twice less than a year prior. I'm still mad about it 2-3 years later.
Around 3:00. Correction: Dutch elections are not based on constituencies that are electing their own MP who represents them. The map simply shows municipalities, but otherwise the election results are fully based on number of votes in the entire country.
yeah its propotional representation in the simplest form. Party gets 5,2% votes out of all votes? they get the same percentage of seats in parliament closest to that number. local elections would be the same but then its about filling up the seats in the city council.
And I can vote on someone from Saba, like someone from St. Eustatius can vote for me. One country, one vote, one parliament. The entire population of all three special municipalities together would not be enough to get one representative. But of course people in the European part can vote on someone from the islands and thus they are in no way excluded from participating.
Would be so fun to sail across the Caribbean stopping at every inhabited island, if people haven’t done this before I’ll be shocked it’s like a ocean road trip and it’s maybe the best weather and island chain to do it with, obviously watch out for hurricanes tho

What is up with that tumbnail map? It shows both the colony powers of The Netherlands and Denmark coloured in, with some of their former and current colonies/oversees territories. But then there is Australia and parts of Brazil coloured in as well, as well as what seems like all the 13 originals colonies of the US. Very, very strange

Love your takes on countries. Have you thought that the last ice age was 'only' 10 000 years ago and ALL of Europe was colonised by us. There were some people living on the ice before our current 'European' colonisation of Europe hit the continent. That is the way things go - all over the world and even now: globalism changes all peoples. I dare you to make videos of us Nordics - let's see if your channel can take it😉 (Hint - perhaps don't do that since you will be on morning tv one of our countries and you channel will ....)
Nice video. One point: the Netherlands doesn't have a district voting system for the parliament, so Bonaire etc. doesn't send an own mp to the parliament. Similarly do the other constituencies not have their own mp's. One has to know how it is with voting systems abroad. (Subject for a video?)
@@GwainSagaFanChannel that makes it even weired tho. Some of them are considered equal to the European provinces then no? The Netherlands is supposed to be a very centralised state so it's weird some provinces and "territories" have different currency's while France just uses euros in their overseas territories
@@tunahan4418 our system was set up with quite a lot of decentralised power for muncipalities and provinces. It is getting less but relative to other countries our central government cannot force a lot on regional and local governments. Example is that the senate is chosen by the provinces so they have to agree for national laws to pass
You can actually see the coast of Aruba from the northernmost point of the Paraguaná peninsula in Venezuela There's also a single 15 minute flight from the Punto Fijo airport to Aruba which is the only thing that technically makes it an international airport
The name of Curaçao comes directly from the Portuguese word coração that means heart in English. Still today the Papiamento is quite similar to Portuguese. That is not surprising because many regions from the Antilles untill Indonesia where conquered by the Dutch from the Portuguese.
So the US House of Representatives passed a bill to have Puerto Rico vote on whether they want to be independent or have statehood. If the senate passes this as well and Puerto Rico voted for statehood would it operate similarly to Dutch overseas islands? It already has a metro line opened in 2004 and with further federal transportation grants may be able to expand it
If Puerto Rico becomes a state, it will be fully on par with all the other states with all the same rights and responsibilities, 2 senators, and Representatives apportioned by population. The direct comparison is Hawaii but I think a better comparison than Dutch islands is French overseas departments.
If Puerto Rico becomes a state... It will be a state. It will have like 6 people in the house of representatives and 2 senators. Other than that however, it won't change at all. Puerto Rico has already been American for over 120 years, all the people there are full American citizens, they have a "state" legislature (so to say), they have a governor, etc. There will be no legal difference between New York and Puerto Rico if it becomes a state (hopefully it does). In fact, even right now, the only difference between New York and Puerto Rico is that Puerto Rico has unfairly little representation in national government and no vote, but as for everything else, it operates as a regular US state, as do the US Virgin Islands, Guam and Samoa. PR has a lot more people though
@@prion42 Aruba, Curacao and St. Maarten are internally self governing. They have their own constitution and laws that deviate from those of the country Netherland.

The dutch asked if these territories wished to be independent or be muncipalties with representation and voting rights like any other dutch muncipality
I don't think you understand what a "colony" is. What you listed are territories. It might surprise you, but there is in fact neither moral nor legal reason why a country that is located on a continent shouldn't be allowed to also own islands.
Yeah this is cool but why use the $ as ur currency!? For example: France does have overseas territories and those give u EU citizenship and they use euro as currency.
And about their citizenship: the Kingdom of the Netherlands has only one citizenship. Since the (country) of the Netherlands is an EU member, holders of the corresponding nationality are EU citizens. This includes the Carribean Dutch. They can pack up and emigrate to Sweden for example under the same conditions as any other Dutch citizen if they want to. However the funny thing is, even though the citizens are full EU citizens, their islands are not EU territory.
Oh. And not all French overseas territories use the Euro. New Caledonia doesn’t (at least not when I visited in 2009) and if I’m not mistaken neither do French Polynesia and Wallis & Futuna.
No its a different system. Fun fact: my friend (married to a German wife) moved to Germany and brough all the appliances to Germany from the US and tried using transformers. He literally blew up his washer/dryer/dishwasher being hard-headed. LOL
The most successful colonial countries are two that aren't even usually considered colonial: the USA, which is a European country built on land conquered from Americans (the natives), and Russia, an Eastern European country which still controls all of Northern Asia.
That makes 0 sense. By your logic, literally every single country on earth would be either a colony or a colonial because there is not a single piece of land where the people today are the direct ancestors of the very first people that settlet it.

The Dutch did not convert Indonesia. So, Indonesia is still Muslim (circa 12th century), and also Catholic where it was a colony of Portugal, and also there are Hindu where Islam did not convert.
There wasn’t an effort to convert the island in the same way. Philippines for example was ruled from Mexico City so their official religion was Catholicism and lead to many converting to such. When America ruled the Philippines they didn’t really alter the religion stuff because the US government didn’t really care about that stuff one way or another. Then when Philippines was finally independent many Pinoys were still Catholic and remained as such
