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 three predominant constituent countries of the Kingdom are the [[Netherlands|European Netherlands]], [[New Batavia]], and [[Zeylan]]. They are ''de jure'' equal partners, with other islands and territories acting as special districts or dependencies of one of these countries. With economic and political power centered in Europe, efforts have been made to equalize the power of each constituent member. The Prime Minister of the Netherlands serves as the Chairman of the Council of Ministers with the other countries represented by ''de facto'' junior Minister Plenipotentiaries.

== 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.
 
==== Method of GovernanceExecutive ====
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 administrative system of the Dutch Union is blend of federal and confederal methods of governance. Constituent countries have their own parliaments and limited powers, yet all have a common foreign policy and military. Despite structures like the '''Raad der Staaten''', which consists of the elected leaders of the three constituent countries, the European Netherlands in effect has absolute control over the military and foreign affairs of all constituent countries.
