Zeeland
Netherlands coastal region
Zeeland is a coastal province in the southwestern Netherlands, consisting largely of islands and peninsulas formed by the delta of the Rhine, Meuse, and Scheldt rivers.
The name means "sea land," reflecting its low-lying geography and long struggle against flooding.
New Zealand takes its name from this Dutch province.
