The '''Dutch Realm''' ([[Dutch language|Dutch]]: ''Federale Nederlandse Rijk'') is a multi-continental political entity over which the [[List of leaders of the Netherlands|monarch of the Netherlands]] reigns. It consists of three constituents (''deelstaaten''): the [[Netherlands|Kingdom of the Netherlands]], the only multinational and most powerful constituent; the [[Zeylan|Union of Zeylan]], a territory encompassing the southern Asian island of Ceylon; and [[New Batavia]], a state encompassing northern Australia and nearby islands. [[Oswaldsland]], a piece of Antarctic territory officially recognized in the [[Antarctic Treaty (1946)|1946 treaty]], is claimed by the constituents of the Dutch Realm as a united political entity. Proclaimed after the [[East Indies Crisis]] in the administrative reforms of 1978, it is seen as a continuation of the [[Dutch Empire]].
The '''Kingdom of the Netherlands''' (Dutch: ''Koninkrijk der Nederlanden'') is a multinational country. It consists of three major constituent members (''componenten'')— the [[Netherlands]], the [[Zeylan|Union of Zeylan]], and [[New Batavia]]. It is often characterized as a decentralized federation or a federacy, with the Netherlands ''de facto'' possessing asymmetric powers over other constituent states.


Besides the monarch, the Realm's members are governed by the Council of States (''Raad der Staten'')—also known as the Triumvirate (''Driemanschap'')—an executive body consisting of representatives from each of the three constituents. Despite this supposed equality, the Kingdom is disproportionately authoritivate due to its advantage in population, industry, [[Gross General Production Index|GGPI]], and political influence. The relationship between these three is sometimes known as one Boulder, two Stones (''een kei, twee stenen'') for this reason.
It is the foremost multi-continental sovereign state in the world, with territories in Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, and Australasia. The bulk of the population and economic value is located in the European provinces of the Netherlands, followed by the Province of Zeylan in southern Asia. The Kingdom is considered the foundation of the cultural-economic [[Batavosphere]] region.

== Government and Politics ==
The Kingdom is a constitutional federal monarchy, a union of three constituent states with a quasi-federal structure. The head of state is the monarch of the Netherlands, who hails from the [[House of Orange-Nassau|Orange-Nassau dynasty]]. Each state has an independent head of government, though the Prime Minister of the Netherlands is in effect acknowledged as being of a higher status. As established in the late 20th century, the Kingdom operates on the principle of equality from practicality (''gelijkheid van nut''), emphasizing the ideal of justice through pragmatism.

==== Executive ====
The Council of States (''Raad der Staten'') functions as the core executive body of the Kingdom. It is informally called the Triumvirate (''Driemanschap''), as it consists of the heads of government of the three constituent states, who collectively make decisions regarding the Kingdom's affairs.

The Dutch Realm (Dutch: Federale Nederlandse Rijk) is a multi-continental political entity over which the monarch of the Netherlands reigns. It consists of three constituents (deelstaaten): the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the only multinational and most powerful constituent; the Union of Zeylan, a territory encompassing the southern Asian island of Ceylon; and New Batavia, a state encompassing northern Australia and nearby islands. Oswaldsland, a piece of Antarctic territory officially recognized in the 1946 treaty, is claimed by the constituents of the Dutch Realm as a united political entity. Proclaimed after the East Indies Crisis in the administrative reforms of 1978, it is seen as a continuation of the Dutch Empire.

Besides the monarch, the Realm's members are governed by the Council of States (Raad der Staten)—also known as the Triumvirate (Driemanschap)—an executive body consisting of representatives from each of the three constituents. Despite this supposed equality, the Kingdom is disproportionately authoritivate due to its advantage in population, industry, GGPI, and political influence. The relationship between these three is sometimes known as one Boulder, two Stones (een kei, twee stenen) for this reason.
