The Netherlands in Numbers

What would you like to know about the Netherlands? The fabulous translation team at Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek – CBS (Statistics Netherlands) has produced "The Netherlands in Numbers" – a version in English of the annual "Nederland in Cijfers" – answering questions about various subjects in infographics, text and charts, and in a book (pdf).

Questions range from How many centenarians are there in the Netherlands? to How much milk does a Dutch cow produce? and (almost) everything in between.

Head over to the CBS website for more information.
