The Netherlands, officially known as the Kingdom of the Netherlands, is a sovereign state and constitutional monarchy located in Western Europe, South America and the Caribbeans. As the Kingdom, it consists of three constituent countries: the Metropolitan Netherlands, Suriname and the Netherlands Antilles.

As the constituent country, it is a parliamentary democracy organised as a unitary state. The capital is Amsterdam and the seat of government is The Hague.
