I just think of orange when i think Holland, don't realyl care whether its a country or not.

Interesting... Any particular reason? The Royal Family over there are of the "House of Orange"

It isn't incorrect to refer to the Netherlands as Holland, so it is a country really

Not really... Only by how it is commonly refered to It's only really called Holland because of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague, the three main cities anyone ever hears of

Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands.

[Stryderman]

the capital of holland? loooooool

[GommeInc]

the capital of holland? loooooool

Amsterdam is the capital of the county of Amstel (I think) and the capital of the Netherlands.
The Hague is the capital of the county of Noord-Holland and the city where the government is.
Rotterdam is the capital of the county of Zuid-Holland and is where a lot of ferrys and boats port.

It's the same principal here:

Norwich = Norfolk
Ipswich = Suffolk
Chelmsford = Essex
Leicester = Leicestershire

And read the sentence boy! It clearly says after the comma (,) "the three main cities anyone ever hears of", because they're all in that area known as Holland, with the exception of Amsterdam, though it's county/province is surrounded by Noord-Holland

Probably because their football kit is bright orange innit.

Same thing really, the country's color is definitely orange The Royal Family is no doubt where that idea comes from, seeing as it's always been the House of Orange
