Understanding The Netherlands vs Holland

So everyone is trying to understand where I am living. I am living in the Netherlands but sometimes is known as Holland. But Holland is like the States in the Netherlands. So we call the America the United States of America. And within America it is made up of 50 states. The Netherlands is the same they are made up of 12 "states". Martijn and I live in North Bradant. It is in the southern half of the Netherlands. I have a video and pictures of what I am trying to explain.

                                      

Hope that helps!!!
