Holland vs the Netherlands

Now there's something I never knew

Holland is not the Netherlands, it's a part of Netherlands.
And the Pensilvania Dutch are actually Deutch

And EU members in the Carribean

I did. I'd forgotten about the Dutch/Deutch though. And the EU/Caribbean I only found out a couple of months ago.

The only things I know about Slovenia though are it has a tiny coast (don't start that again) and a disproportional amount of boat builders, it has a lake called Bled, some mountains, and some corrupt politicians - just like everywhere else.

It's a common made mistake to refer to The Netherlands using the word 'Holland'.

We actually have to regions with the name 'Holland' in it: Noordholland and
Zuidholland (North Holland and South Holland).

Noordholland

Zuidholland

I found out the Holland vs Netherland thing a while back, I think it was in conversation with Keab42.
