Continuing OT... Losing battle, there. The website of the Netherlands Board of Tourism & Conventions is holland.com, and the nation is referred repeatedly throughout the web site as "Holland."
Kind of like being upset that all Americans (there's a name right there, too) being called "Yankees" by people around the world.
Besides, didn't the Kingdom of the Netherlands include Belgium and Luxembourg at one time?
