"Only about half of the Netherlands 41,543 square km area exceeds one metre above sea level. The total road network of the Netherlands has 139,295 km, including 2,758 km of expressways. Amsterdam, the capital city, is famous for its nightlife and numerous festivals." |
The Netherlands (Dutch: Nederland) is a country in Western Europe, featured in Euro Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. It is characterized by it's mostly flat terrain (sometimes even below sea level).
The country is bordered by Belgium to the south, Germany to the east, and (as in Euro Truck Simulator 2) has ferry connections to the United Kingdom. Many players use the Netherlands to travel between the UK and Germany.
While windmills can be found almost everywhere on the ETS 2 map, the windmills in Netherlands are rendered in unique Dutch style. Another unique feature to the country is a highway over a dike, the Afsluitdijk, which is part of the A7 between Amsterdam and Groningen.
Due to the map quality, The Netherlands, alongside Belgium and Luxembourg will be one of the next countries to receive a rework after Switzerland.
The entire country of the Netherlands had been partially reworked, released in update 1.50 and will be fully reworked from the ground-up in future updates.
