The '''Kingdom of the Netherlands''' (Dutch: ''Koninkrijk der Nederlanden'', Malay: ''Kekaisaran Belanda'', Sinhala: නෙදර්ලන්ත අධිරාජ්යය), also known simply as the '''Netherlands''', '''Dutch Union''', or '''
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.
