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. 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. The kingdom of the Netherlands (Dutch: ''Koninkrijk der Nederlanden'';) commonly known as the Netherlands, or Dutch union, is a sovereign state and constitutional monarchy with territories in Europe, Oceania, Southeast Asia, Africa and with islands in the Caribbean, Atlantic ocean and Indian ocean. While the majority of its and area is in Asia the largest and most densely populated part of the kingdom is in western Europe I in the Netherlands proper. == History == The three constituent countries of the Kingdom—The Netherlands, Nieuw Batavia, and Ceylon. They participate on a basis of equality as partners in the Kingdom, while the smaller cities and islands operate either as counties within constituent countries of the Kingdom or are special districts, this may vary. Due to the widespread diversion of the population and land area but the centralization of the economic power, the kingdom has developed institutions that give each of the three nations an equal say. This has been done through quota's, subsidized travel extensive communication and other things. == Constituents == at are a blend of federal confederation methods of governance. Confederation in the sense that the constituent countries have their parliament and limited powers, federal due a common foreign policy and military force. From an economic perspective the Netherlands is the premier power and in practice dictates the economic policy of the Kingdom. Despite this structures are in place such as the '''Raad der Staaten''', which consists of the elected leaders of the three constituent countries and is preceded by the monarch, which dictates foreign policy in broad terms military policy and economic policy the latter in practice being done by the Netherlands. This is a unique structure that some say is only possible due to modern technologies and a shared history and economic dependency upon each other. Each of the three constituent countries manage their own subdivisions, which also include overseas territories of that particular constituent nation. {\| class="wikitable" ! colspan="2" \|Country ! rowspan="2" \|Capital \|- ! !<small>Subdivision</small> \|- \| colspan="2" \|[[Netherlands]] \| rowspan="2" \|Amsterdam \|- \| rowspan="5" \| \|European provinces \|- \|Saint Helena and Mauritius \|Mauritsstad \|- \|Sint Maarten \|Fort Amsterdam \|- \|Saba \|De Botte \|- \|Sint Eustatius \|Oranjestad \|- \| colspan="2" \|[[Zeylan\|Union of Zeylan]] \| rowspan="2" \|Kolamba \|- \| \|Province of Zeylan \|- \| \|Kingdom of Kandy \|Kandie \|- \| colspan="2" \|[[New Batavia]] \| rowspan="2" \|Noorstadt \|- \| rowspan="3" \| \|Province of New Batavia \|- \|Mynors Islands \|— \|- \|Mijnclara Island \|— \|- ▲~~{{Nation\|full_name~~! colspan="2" \|'''Kingdom of the Netherlands''' \|Amsterdam \|} == Government and Politics == The vast majority of the nation’s land area is located in Oceania in Nieuw Batavia while the Netherlands is the economic and population juggernaut of the Kingdom, with Ceylon being second. There are several city enclaves around the world that have special autonomous status and are equal to the constituent countries in most factors. The total population of the Kingdom is roughly around 58 million. 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. == Legal system == {{Main\|Roman-Dutch law}} == Foreign relations == == See also == __FORCETOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__ __INDEX__
