abstract
  • Dutch Lower Saxony is known for its low, rolling hills, lowland forests, polders with terpen and wierden in the northern provinces, and the Wadden Sea, which is home to a large variety of migratory birds. It is also well-known for its unique governmental position, being an integral part of Saxony despite having the King of the Netherlands, currently Willem-Alexander, as head of state instead of the President of Saxony. Due to its maritime position, Dutch Lower Saxony has an oceanic climate. The state capital is Amersfoort; the largest city is Groningen. Dutch Lower Saxony got its unique position in 1835, five years after the Belgian Revolution, after the Dutch Low Saxonian Revolution. King William I of the Netherlands ceded the revolting areas to Saxony, on the condition that he remained King of the territory. Taxing rights, war rights, and loyalty however shifted to the Seafaring Confederation. The city of Arnhem refused to shift loyalty, and with it Renkum, Oosterbeek, and Wageningen, who remained an integral part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The unique status of the governmental situation was reaffirmed by the 2014 referendum, where 98.2% of the population voted in favour of keeping the King. The inhabitants of Dutch Lower Saxony are ethnically Dutch, except for the inhabitants of Frisia, who are considered ethnically Frisian. The Dutch language is spoken and used nationwide, whilst subvarieties of the Dutch Low Saxon and Frisian languages are spoken locally. Many citizens do not identify as either Saxonian or Dutch, instead identifying as a "hybrid" between the two.
