LOWCOUNTRIES
Low Countries
The Low Countries make up a coastal region in north western Europe, consisting especially of Belgium and the Netherlands, and the low-lying delta of the Rhine, Scheldt, and Meuse rivers where much of the land is at or below sea level. Historically the term low countries was purely geographical and implied all land downstream the big rivers including parts of modern-day northern France and western Germany, but today the term is typically fitted to modern political boundaries and used in the same way as the term Benelux, which also includes Luxembourg.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Low Countries
