The Seven Provinces
Although the Low Countries have been unified with a common cause, they are still divided thanks to de-jure claims and cultural differences. However, we can use this disunity to our advantage. By creating a confederation where each province has its laws and rights, whilst still having them obey the central government, we can properly ensure that each one of them is protected and can prosper on their own, allowing us to look outwards instead.

1167historical_info = flavor_ned.15.historical_info During the Dutch Revolt against the Habsburgs, the Dutch people created a confederation in which each province was allowed to retain its own interests. This confederation, though, was still plagued with factionalism, as the Statists and Orangists fought for control over the numerous provinces. It was not until the Napoleonic Era and the Batavian Republic that this whole system was abolished, leading to the Kingdom of the Netherlands as we know it.
