Reino unido and paises bajos. Does anyone say just “los paises” or “los bajos”? Hmm, maybe not “the nethers”…
Same here, actually. “England” and “Holland”. No one says “Vereinigter Müllberg” or “Niedersümpfe”.
The “countries” in the uk is something only they care about. It serves to autonerf themselves in Sport, but that is it
You do you, Andalusia.
I agree with you, my Castilian guy. Why overcomplicate.
Alright الأَنْدَلُس
Luister eens, idioot, als ik op de heetste dag die we ooit in Holland hebben gehad in mijn eigen vuilnisbak wil zwemmen, dan heb ik daar het recht toe.
If you get overtly salty about foreign blokes referring to the whole of the UK as England, you probably need to get out more. It’s not all that dissimilar to a basque person being called Spanish.
I’m going to be honest. The only people that complain about this are people online.
Technically there is only one kingdom the UK (it’s the United Kingdom not the United kingdoms). King Charles is not the king of England or Scotland he’s only the King of the United Kingdom.
When England and Scotland United the previous kingdoms were dissolved to create a new one called the kingdom of great Britain (which became the UK 100 years later).
It’s only weird people call the monarch the king of England it’s like calling the king of Spain the king of castille.
Americans feel the same about Spanish people.
Pero se llama reino unido
Most people in Spain would say Reino Unido and Países Bajos. Holandés is also losing favour to neerlandés.
Pretty sure Holland is actually two regions, not one
U wot m8
It’s kind of the Hollanders own fault for sailing around the world and introducing our entire country as Holland (because regional identity was stronger than national back then)
Nice chat. You’re now renamed ‘Catalonia’.
Madrid, Catalonia.
Based pedro, we do the same.

Fair play to Jorge calling them after the parts that foot the fucking bills.
I will simplify it.
It is now called Batavia. Other countries have national prefices that usually correspond to their name:
England: Anglo-
Russia: Russo-
France: Franco-
Rwanda: Ruando-
Others don’t, but they aren’t so schizophrenic as to not know their own name:
Ireland: Hiberno-
Germany: Teutono- / Germano-
Portugal: Luso-
Greece: Helleno- / Greco-
Then the dutch, the poor netherlandic deviants, the Batavo- fucks. Just call it Batavia and be done with it.
Pros:
Obvious national identity
Your language is no longer so obviously butchered german (deutsch)
The country no longer sounds schizo like your flemboy neighbours.
Not called “The Netherlands”. What is that? A cunt?
Named after a cool ancient germanic tribe
Cons:
Hollandaise is now called Bataviaise/Bataviaans (disgusting)/ or better yet, Batavi after the germanic tribe
I will stick to calling it holland until you find a name that isn’t as awkward as “Nederlandene”
Until then you are just the main thing
Hollands isn’t one region though, its two, north and south, at least get it right
There’s a difference between you not understanding and something being complicated.
Weirdly enough I didnt think this was of any relevance before going travelling to england. It seems some get offended we refer to them that way, I really didnt understood why.
Im still going to do it tho. Ireland is ireland the other island is england ( “inglaterra”). Why? “Reino unido” ( United kingdom) doesnt roll out the tongue and is generic as fuck. “Inglaterra” actually sounds like its has an identity.
From true Pedro, england is all this bullshit “state”, only recognise one Ireland (the true) and Scotland, the other are pussies subjugated to Barrys…
That’s why Austria eventually gave up and is officially called Austria today. Same situation as in Nederland, Austria originally is only the two regions along the Danube.
I agree, it’s all England
i know how you feel big bro, they constantly call us after our biggest city…
Bottom frame feels like an alcoholic dad calling his son by their old name
Why not “Hollaterra”?
Hup Holland hup ⚽️ And only Holland. The rest of the Netherlands stand still and fuck off
France’s name for the Netherlands is tops: Pays-Bas.
