Netherlands (Terran State)

The Kingdom of the Netherlands, or Holland, was one of the member-states of the European Union. It was also a member of NATO, formed by its ally, the United States. Its capital was Amsterdam. It was one of the major nations that entered the conflict in Europe during the Third World War.
After seceding from the Holy Roman Empire in 1581, the Netherlands had built a vast, colonial empire within the Americas, Pacific, and parts of Africa. At a time during the Napoleonic Wars, it was annexed into the French Empire under Napoleon's reign, but ultimately regained its image by 1815. Its southern region, Belgium, had left its master by October 4th, 1830. It was invaded by Germany during the Second World War during the conquest o the French. By 1944, it was liberated by American forces form the hands of the Nazi threat. It was also a founding member of the European Union (EU) by 1957.
During the Third World War, the Dutch sent aid into Poland to crush the Russian invaders. In 2052, Holland fired a French missile towards Moscow, angering the Russians that lead to an airstrike against Holland, since the country was running out of nukes. The US sent in troops to aid the Dutch in order to defend its borders until 2054, when the Germanican Military arrived, invading parts of Europe. However, some of the Dutch had managed to escape from the occupation and survive.
After landing on the planet Vadder, the Dutch created a new Terran society, creating their part within th aristocracy ruling it. Waffles are made in order to represent their culture to the society as a symbol of their surviving culture. The Colonel has some ancestry connected with a Dutchman, due to his mustache and love for waffles.
