Holland, or Hollande, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Holland, is a primarily unrecognised state that split off from the Kingdom of Quebec after the dissolution of Azarathia and mostly consists of a narrow strip of land between Holland road and the state of Michigan.
Holland is designated by the Kingdom of Quebec as the Holland autonomous territorial unit with special legal status. After the dissolution of Azarathia, tensions between Quebec and the breakaway Holland territory escalated into a military conflict that started in May 23 and was concluded by a ceasefire in May 24 that same year. As part of that agreement, a three-party (Quebec, Holland and, COU) Joint Control Commission supervises the security arrangements in the demilitarised zone, comprising twenty localities on both sides of the strip. Although the ceasefire has held, the territory's political status remains unresolved: Holland is an unrecognised but de facto independent semi-presidential republic with its own government, People's Assembly, military, police, postal system, currency and vehicle registration. Its authorities have adopted a constitution, flag, state anthem and State emblem. It is the only country still using an older design of the hammer and sickle on its flag.
