The Netherlands (Dutch: Nederland), or alternatively Holland, is a country in Western Europe featured in Euro Truck Simulator 2.
The Netherlands is characterized by it's mostly flat terrain (sometimes even below sea level). The country is bordered by Belgium to the south, Germany to the east, and (in Euro Truck Simulator 2) has ferry connections to the United Kingdom. Many players use the Netherlands to travel between the UK and Germany. While windmills can be found almost everywhere on the ETS2 map, windmills in the Netherlands are rendered in a unique Dutch style. Another unique feature to the country is a highway over a dike, the Afsluitdijk, which is part of the A7
between Amsterdam and Groningen.
