caption_attribution_description: Nederlands: Kaart van Nederland met reliëf en diepte, inclusief provinciegrenzen. Steden en snelwegen zijn ter oriëntatie nog vaag zichtbaar door het reliëfbeeld heen. De landhoogte varieert van ongeveer −7 meter (onder zeeniveau, donkergroen) tot ongeveer 322,7 meter (boven zeeniveau, lichtgroen). Gebruikte publieke brongegevens: Referentie-ondergrond op water bewerkt vanuit http://satfoto.geoserve.nl/false-nl/index.html. Gebruik is vrij met bronvermelding NLR en ESA. Reliëf gerasterd uit de AHN Viewer (http://www.ahn.nl/kaart/); gebruik is vrij met bronvermelding (c) AHN, www.ahn.nl. English: Map of the Netherlands with relief and depth, including provincial borders. Cities and motorways are faintly visible through the relief image for orientation purposes. The terrain height varies from approximately −7 meter (−23 ft; below sea level, dark green) to approximately 322.7 meter (1,059 ft; above sea level, light green).

context_page_description: The geography of the European Netherlands is unusual in that much of its land has been reclaimed from the sea and is below sea level, protected by dikes. It is a small country with a total area of 41,545 km² and ranked 131st. With a population of 17.4 million and density of 521/km² makes it the most densely populated country in Europe, and the 12th most densely populated country in the world, behind only three countries with a population over 16 million. Consequently, the Netherlands is highly urbanized.

With a population of 17.4 million and density of 521/km² (1,350/sq mi) makes it the most densely populated country in Europe (except for tiny city states like Monaco, Vatican City and San Marino), and the 12th most densely populated country in the world, behind only three countries with a population over 16 million. Consequently, the Netherlands is highly urbanized.
