In Response To: Netherlands? (niuniuch)

Yes - parliament and government is in the Hague ("de hofstad"), but the capital is Amsterdam ("de hoofdstad"). Bit uncommon.

For a long time the capital of the Netherlands was not officially defined; in 1983 it was, but in a roundabout manner, a revision of the constitution stating that the King shall be crowned in the capital Amsterdam.
