Republic of Holland

The Republic of Holland is a nation located in Europa. The Republic was founded on March 8, 2003, and replaced the Dutch Empire. However, despite the official end to the Empire, Holland still administers several overseas territories and is the head of the League of Dutch Nations.

From 1700 to 2003 the Dutch Empire ruled a vast colonial empire, with land on every continent. However, from 1793 to 1950 the empire began a slow decline, beginning with the loss of Dutch North America to the United States in 1793.

In 1950 the Dutch Parliament passed the Decolonization Acts, which granted independence to many Dutch holdings, including New Zealand, South Abantia, and the Dutch Caribbean.

Today, Holland, as a member of the Europan Commonwealth, hosts the unofficial capital of Europa, The Hauge, as the city is the headquarters for the union. Given this, Holland wields great power in the halls of the Europan Parliament, with some calling their influence a Pan-Europan Superstate.
