Do you understand how retarded it is for you to even try comparing the Netherlands to the USA ?
You want facts spoon-fed to you? Fine.
Netherlands:
Population - 15,878,000
Land Area - 33,920 sq km (13,097 sq miles)
Coastline - Not applicable
Landforms The land is flat, averaging only 37' above sea level. Much of the land below sea level is reclaimed and protected by 1,500 miles of dikes. There are some hills in southeast 
Texas:
Population - 21,779,893
Area - 268,601 sq miles
(Land) 261,914 sq. miles (Water) 6,687 sq. miles
Coastline - Shoreline 367 miles - 3,360 miles
Landforms Flat land is found along the Gulf Coastal Plain, and features bayous, bays, flats and marshes.
Central and west in the Edwards Plateau, the land rises into rolling hills. (Texas Hill Country)
Low mountains and the prairies of the High Plains are northwest. The Llano Estacado (or Staked Plain) is an isolated plateau on the border with New Mexico.
In the southwest, flat, desert conditions are broken by the Davis, Glass, Guadelupe and Santiago ranges of the Rocky Mountains.
Major rivers include the Rio Grande, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Canadian and Sabine.
Hueij. Dude. How can I say this?
The damned Netherlands wouldn't even make a decent state.

Screw you Hueij. All you do is talk.
Where are your facts, punk?
Here. Have some facts.
The Netherlands doesn't have jack in the way of diversity.
Ethnic groups:
Dutch 83%, other 17% (of which 9% are non-western origin mainly Turks, Moroccans, Antilleans, Surinamese and Indonesians) (1999 est.)
Religions:
Roman Catholic 31%, Protestant 21%, Muslim 4.4%, other 3.6%, unaffiliated 40% (1998)
Oh now this is VERY good.  
Legal system:
civil law system incorporating French penal theory; constitution does not permit judicial review of acts of the States General; accepts compulsory ICJ jurisdiction, with reservations
Executive branch:
chief of state: Queen BEATRIX (since 30 April 1980); Heir Apparent WILLEM-ALEXANDER (born 27 April 1967), son of the monarch
head of government: Prime Minister Jan Peter BALKENENDE (since 22 July 2002) and Vice Prime Ministers Johan REMKES (since NA 2002) and Roelf DE BOER (since NA 2002)
cabinet: Council of Ministers appointed by the monarch
elections: none; the monarchy is hereditary; following Second Chamber elections, the leader of the majority party or leader of a majority coalition is usually appointed prime minister by the monarch; vice prime ministers appointed by the monarch
note: there is also a Council of State composed of the monarch, heir apparent, and councilors that provides consultations to the prime minister on legislative and administrative policy
In other words, your country is run by an old bat in an archaic system.
Damn Hueij. I was ALL wrong.
"Progressive" laws regarding drug use and sex isn't all there is to the show.
Go get some facts or STF up.
