  1. i knew a couple of the facts before one of them being the country being near sea level.
    I think the most interesting fact in this list is the one about the color orange, i especially find it surprising because as far as I knew people who are proud of their country associate themselves with the colors of the flag.
    I wonder why the royal color is orange why not something else?
    I have never given any thought to making a list of interesting facts about my country but if I had to I would probably include that most wild growing forest areas that you see are most likely protected, in fact I have personally never found wild untamed plant life that was neither private property nor a nature reserve

    1. Hi Roni! Nice contribution! It seems the colour orange was chosen because of the House of Orange-Nassau, an important and beloved dinasty established in The Netherlands in 1544.
