United Provinces of the NetherlandsUnited Provinces of the Netherlands

The United Provinces, in the 17th century, successfully defended their independence from Spain and became the wealthiest country for a short period. Soon they were at arms once again, this time against France. To win this struggle, the Netherlands must enter a strategic alliance with their rival at sea: England.
The Netherlands is home to the military reform of Maurice of Orange, to which most of Europe will soon conform too. This reform made fire the primary weapon of infantry and lessened infantry formations for greater flexibility in battle, foreshadowing the linear tactics.
