The Hague (/ðə ˈheɪɡ/; Dutch: Den Haag pronounced [dɛnˈɦaːx] or 's-Gravenhage pronounced [ˈsxraːvə(n)ˌɦaːɣə]) is the seat of government in the Netherlands, and the capital city of the province of South Holland. With a population of 515,880 inhabitants (as of 1 January 2015) and more than one million inhabitants including the suburbs, it is the third-largest city of the Netherlands, after Amsterdam and Rotterdam. The Rotterdam The Hague Metropolitan Area, with a population of approximately 2.7 million, is the 12th-largest in the European Union and the most populous in the country. Located in the west of the Netherlands, The Hague is in the centre of the Haaglanden conurbation and lies at the southwest corner of the larger Randstad conurbation.
The Hague is the seat of the Dutch government and parliament, the Supreme Court, and the Council of State, but the city is not the capital of the Netherlands which constitutionally is Amsterdam. King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands plans to live at Huis ten Bosch and works at Noordeinde Palace in The Hague, together with Queen Máxima. Most foreign embassies in the Netherlands and 150 international organisations are located in the city, including the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, which makes The Hague one of the major cities hosting the United Nations, along with New York, Geneva, Vienna, Rome and Addis Ababa.
The Netherlands (i/ˈnɛðərləndz/; Dutch: Nederland [ˈneːdərˌlɑnt]) is the main "constituent country" (Dutch: land) of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It is a small, densely populated country located in Western Europe with three island territories in the Caribbean. The European part of the Netherlands borders Germany to the east, Belgium to the south, and the North Sea to the northwest, sharing maritime borders with Belgium, the United Kingdom and Germany. The largest and most important cities in the Netherlands are Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam. Amsterdam is the country's capital, while The Hague holds the Dutch seat of government and parliament. The port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe – as large as the next three largest combined – and was the world's largest port between 1962 and 2004. The name Holland is also frequently used to informally refer to the whole of the country of the Netherlands.
"Netherlands" literally means "lower countries", influenced by its low land and flat geography, with only about 50% of its land exceeding one metre above sea level. Most of the areas below sea level are man-made. Since the late 16th century, large areas (polders) have been reclaimed from the sea and lakes, amounting to nearly 17% of the country's current land mass.

Thousands of protesters were denied access to the city centre in The Hague, Tuesday, as they marched to protest against the official visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the Netherlands. The protesters initially hoped to demonstrate outside the parliament, but were denied by authorities. One demonstrator commented: 'We are here in the woods because the principality of the Hague, they blocked us; they gave us no permission to walk through the city centre and as you can see, there are loads of police. They are criminalising us," adding that "the Zionists, they always get the permission to stand in front of the parliament." Protesters were calling for Netanyahu to be put on tried at the International Criminal Court in the Hague, with chants such as "free Palestine" heard th...

AnimeCon 2016 (In The Hague, The Netherlands) Part 1
The journey aboard the Haags Openbaar Vervoer Museum (The Hague Public Transport Museum) Winterrit Tour aboard PCC Car No. 1022.
Bij de wachtcommandant van Team Verkeer kwam het verzoek binnen om een ambulance vanaf het Haga ziekenhuis locatie Leyweg te begeleiden naar het Erasmus MC in Rotterdam. Er waren inmiddels al 2 motorrijders en een Volvo ter plaatse. Normaal gebeurt een ambulancebegeleiding met 3 motorrijders (1 commandant, 2 spitsers) maar gezien de mogelijke drukte is besloten om deze begeleiding te doen met 3 motorrijders en de commandant in de Volvo. In goed overleg is besloten om een surveillancevoertuig met aan boord de familie mee te nemen in het stoetje. Dit is echter een uitzondering. De reden daarvoor is dat het verkeer nadat de ambulance de kruising is gepasseerd daarachter niet nog een voertuig verwacht. Maar gezien de situatie hebben wij ter plaatste besloten, uiteraard na het maken van goe...

Looking for something to fully embrace
Is how I think I will spend the rest of my days
If I stay in this place where
There is neither hope nor despair
I want to be a saint, I want to be brave
I have started by yelling at those who misbehave
There are moments when I want to be
Shackled and brought to The Hague
These are my ideals
If you don't like them, I might have to change them
My way is the right way if there's a lover in the end
The morals of my parents, they rang hollow after all
Nowadays I live just to appear a bit above my friends
Looking for something to fully embrace
Is how I think I will spend the rest of my days
If I stay here with you where
There is neither hope nor despair
If something happened
A riot on our square
I am not going to lie to you
I wouldn't be there
I would be passing out judgements
Condemning the clothes that they wear
These are my ideals
If you don't like them, I might have to change them
My way is the right way if there's a lover at the end
The morals of my parents, they rang hollow after all
And nowadays I live just to appear a bit above my
