Navy

NOTE: Will not be using Dutch navy. During the war, it only used a small corridor. I would contribute to an allied force, if neccesary.


Alliances

Neutral: All
Historical Bias: Hell Yeah!

Don't forget the Dutch East Indies! (Modern Indonesia) And teh navy was pretty important for Holland, to keep in contact with their colonies. But compared to other countries in Europe it sucked :(

*speaking here as a dutchmen*;)
