The Netherlands
"Netherlands" literally means "Low countries" or "Lowlands". Although the name of the country is singular in its native language (Nederland, or "Low country"), the English language uses a plural form (but usually with a singular verb). This plural convention is actually archaic, referring to the period 1581 to 1795 when the Dutch Republic was a loose confederation of seven provinces. The Dutch name for the Dutch Republic was Republiek der Zeven Verenigde Nederlanden (Republic of the Seven United Low Countries) or Nederlanden ("Low countries") for short. After Belgium's splitting off (1830) from the then recently formed United Kingdom of the Netherlands, the singular term Nederland became the usual name for the Dutch nation. English usage has simply not followed the Dutch shift to the singular.

it represents the spirit of the Dutch Renaissance through his focus on everyday life and the everyday man, the peasant rather than the prince. He's also reviving historical Dutch proverbs visually. This might be reading too much into it, but you could make a case for the work somewhat mocking the humanist notion of the "genius of man" as Brueghel's peasants engage in acts which demonstrate the stupidity of man. Either way, you could look at this book, it might help you out: Pieter Brueghel the Elder's Netherlandish Proverbs and the Practice of Rhetoric by Mark A. Meadow (2002: Waanders) |

The Fokker 100 is out of production since the bankruptcy of Fokker. Today's Fokker is a subsidiary of Stork, a Dutch conglomerate, and does not manufacture complete aircraft. |
