Without dikes, the Netherlands would be flooded to this extent

  1. As somebody from the south of the netherlands… I can live with this…

    Rip Delft and Hoorn though… they are nice cities… (Rest of the cities too… but just picked these two to focus on… Also because these two would be underwater.)

  2. Don’t worry, even if the dikes are no longer sufficient at some point.

    At Duitsland, there will always be a place for people with caravans, bicycles on the luggage rack and yellow number plates.

  3. Most of it would not be sea but swamp, as it used to be. All the old cities are build on high ground, like you can see with Middelburg en ‘s Gravenhage. But also Amsterdam would have dry spots (most of the time).

  4. In this scenario there’s only two positions: build a floating city, or marry the fish people and worship Dagon.

  5. Too bad some important parts of the flood controll systems were built after 1950. This means those have to be removed because of the European Unions nature restoration law.

  6. Why is “Maasdriel” named? Maasdriel isn’t even a city or village, it’s a municipality and the biggest village there is called “Kerkdriel”. There’s absolutely no reason for Maasdriel to be on this map.

  7. It’s very tasteless to have posted this the same day people are dying drown after the destruction of the Kakovka Dam in Ukraine

  8. Totally worth it, just to get rid of annoying Amsterdammers who think they own the world but actually live in Almere and those folks actually living in Amsterdam who have become annoying as a result but were born and raised in a village called Tinytrousers.
