Holland is actually the name of two of the twelve provinces that make up the Netherlands. This small northern European country is home to a little more than 17 million people. A good part of the territory is below sea level, so it is famous for its engineering works to face the challenges of constant flooding. It is also famous for being one of the most stable and wealthy countries in the world. By 2017, according to the World Bank, it had a GDP per capita of over $48,000, higher than countries such as Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom.

How did the discovery of a natural gas field almost ruin the Dutch economic "miracle"?
How did such a small country become the world's second largest food exporter?
