In unofficial language it's ok to use Holland (like on this forum), in a history book, or government report (where official language is required) The Netherlands is the only correct word. I actually prefer the KIA(A) rule: Keep It Accurate (up to you to make the last word starting with an A)

Let's drop this subject, and let's find that one 8./KG 54 aircraft that is still missing
