The Kingdom of the Netherlands and Deerania have many similarities as well as differences between each other. For instance, Deerania is a lot bigger, but they are both quite dense-although The Netherlands is even denser because of its small size compared to its large population. Since the Netherlands is so dense, there are even three times as many bikes as there is as cars (to keep road traffic down)! They also use boats to get to work and travel. Deerania also uses boats as common traffic.
