I never figured out how it was decided that the kid was Dutch (not FOFC's Dutch, but one hailing from Holland). I thought maybe he was Romanian, until I realized there aren't many overweight Romanians with webcams... :)

Although looking at his body shape, it looks like a big city person, which we only have in lazy ass rich men Holland afterall. :)

Is there a difference between being from Holland and being from The Netherlands? I always thought they were different names used for the same place.

Probably something like I'm from the USA and Im from America...

But basically you have people who are Dutch and speak Dutch, but come from a country called The Netherlands/Holland

No, Meep specifically said The Netherlands, not Holland. You have them lumped together just like I thought they were but apparently aren't...

Holland hasn't been a country since, well, since ever.

Holland is a part of the Netherlands, a small part, but also the most important part. When we were the United States of the Netherlands, Holland was the biggest one of them. Today, it doesn't even exsist as it's devided into North and South: Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland

So, to go by the comparishment from MrBug708, it's indeed in a way similair:
The USA is a country on the continent North America
North Holland is a province in a country called the Netherlands

But don't worry, about 99% of the world only knows Holland as our country name, and me living in Holland, maybe I shouldn't care so much about being technically correct.

;)

Thanks for the info. I didn't know about the differentiation. In fact, if you go to holland.com, that is the tourist information site for The Netherlands! :D
