query: The Netherlands has three island territories.

pos: Netherlands The Netherlands , ( -LSB- ˈnɛðərləndz -RSB- Nederland -LSB- ˈneːdərˌlɑnt -RSB- ; Nederlân ) also known informally as Holland , is the main constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands . It is a densely populated country located in Western Europe with three island territories in the Caribbean.designated Bonaire , Sint Eustatius and Saba within ISO ISO 3166-1 . The European part of the Netherlands borders Germany to the east , Belgium to the south , and the North Sea to the northwest , sharing maritime borders with Belgium , the United Kingdom , and Germany .   The four largest cities in the Netherlands are Amsterdam , Rotterdam , The Hague and Utrecht ( collectively known as G4 ) . Amsterdam is the country 's capital , while The Hague holds the Dutch seat of parliament and government . The port of Rotterdam is the world 's largest port outside East-Asia , and the largest port in Europe . The name Holland is used informally to refer to the whole of the country of the Netherlands.Formally ` Holland ' refers only to two of the country 's twelve provinces : North Holland and South Holland .   `` Netherlands '' literally means `` lower countries '' , influenced by its low land and flat geography , with only about 50 % of its land exceeding one metre above sea level . Most of the areas below sea level are artificial . Since the late 16th century , large areas ( polders ) have been reclaimed from the sea and lakes , amounting to nearly 17 % of the country 's current land mass . With a population density of 412 people per km2 -- 507 ( January 2017 ) if water is excluded -- the Netherlands is classified as a very densely populated country . Only Bangladesh , South Korea , and Taiwan have both a larger population and higher population density . Nevertheless , the Netherlands is the world 's second-largest exporter of food and agricultural products , after the United States . This is partly due to the fertility of the soil and the mild climate . The Netherlands was the third country in the world to have an elected parliament , and since 1848 it has been governed as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy , organised as a unitary state . The Netherlands has a long history of social tolerance and is generally regarded as a liberal country , having legalised abortion , prostitution and euthanasia , while maintaining a progressive drugs policy . In 2001 , it became the world 's first country to legalise same-sex marriage .   The Netherlands is a founding member of the EU , Eurozone , G-10 , NATO , OECD and WTO ; as well as being a part of the Schengen Area and the trilateral Benelux Union . The country is host to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and five international courts : the Permanent Court of Arbitration , the International Court of Justice , the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia , the International Criminal Court and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon . The first four are situated in The Hague , as is the EU 's criminal intelligence agency Europol and judicial co-operation agency Eurojust . This has led to the city being dubbed `` the world 's legal capital . '' The country also ranks second highest in the world 's 2016 Press Freedom Index , as published by Reporters Without Borders .   The Netherlands has a market-based mixed economy , ranking 17th of 177 countries according to the Index of Economic Freedom . It had the thirteenth-highest per capita income in the world in 2013 according to the International Monetary Fund . In 2013 , the United Nations World Happiness Report ranked the Netherlands as the seventh-happiest country in the world , reflecting its high quality of life . The Netherlands also ranks joint third highest in the Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index , along with Australia .

neg: Road transport in the Netherlands With 139,000 km of public roads , the Netherlands has one of the most dense road networks in the world -- much denser than Germany and France , but still not as dense as Belgium . In 2013 , 5,191 km were national roads , 7,778 km were provincial roads , and 125,230 km were municipality and other roads .  Dutch roads include 3,530 km of motorways and expressways , and with a motorway density of 64 kilometres per 1,000 km2 , the country also has one of the densest motorway networks in the world . In Dutch a motorway is called `` autosnelweg '' or simply `` snelweg '' ; other expressways are just called `` autoweg '' ( literally : `` car road '' ) . According to a 2004 estimate , some 12,500 km of road remain as yet unpaved .   Mobility on Dutch roads has grown continuously since the 1950s and now exceeds 200 billion km travelled per year . With a population of 16.8 million people , this comes down to an average of 32 km per person per day . Around half of all trips in the Netherlands are made by car , making up three quarters of all passenger kilometres travelled , meaning that while Dutch roads are numerous , they are also used with one of the highest intensities of any road network . Car ownership in the Netherlands is high but not exceptional , and slightly lower than in surrounding countries . Goods vehicles make up 20 % of total traffic , and road transport accounts for 40 % of all freight movements registered , including overseas shipping .   The busiest Dutch motorway is the A13 between The Hague and Rotterdam , with a traffic volume of 140,000 motor vehicles per day . The province of Utrecht in the centre of the country however , has the busiest motorways on average ( almost 100,000 vehicles a day ) , with major motorways A1 , A2 , A12 , A27 and A28 running through it . The busiest 4-lane motorway in the Netherlands is the A10 in the Coen Tunnel in Amsterdam with 110.000 vehicles per day . The widest Dutch motorway is the A15/A16 just south of Rotterdam with 16 lanes in a 4 +4 +4 +4 setup .

neg: Crown dependencies The Crown dependencies are the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea , and the Bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey in the English Channel . They are independently administered jurisdictions , and do not form part of either the United Kingdom or the British Overseas Territories . They are self-governing possessions of the Crown ( defined uniquely in each jurisdiction ) . Internationally , the dependencies are considered `` territories for which the United Kingdom is responsible '' , rather than sovereign states . As a result , they are not member states of the Commonwealth of Nations . However , they do have relationships with the Commonwealth , the European Union , and other international organisations , and are members of the British -- Irish Council . They have their own teams in the Commonwealth Games . They are not part of the European Union ( EU ) , although they are within the EU 's customs area .   As the Crown dependencies are not sovereign states , the power to pass legislation affecting the islands ultimately rests with the government of the United Kingdom . However they each have their own legislative assemblies , with the power to legislate on many local matters with the assent of the Crown ( Privy Council , or in the case of the Isle of Man in certain circumstances the Lieutenant-Governor ) . In each case , the head of government is referred to as the Chief Minister .

neg: Vlieland Vlieland ( -LSB- ˈvlilɑnt -RSB- ; Flylân ) is a municipality and island in the northern Netherlands . The municipality of Vlieland has only one major town : Oost-Vlieland ( West Frisian : East-Flylân ) . It is the second-least densely populated municipality in the Netherlands ( after Schiermonnikoog ) .   Vlieland is one of the West Frisian Islands , lying in the Wadden Sea . It is the second island from the west in the chain , lying between Texel and Terschelling . The island was permanently separated from the mainland in St. Lucia 's flood in 1287 . Vlieland was named after the Vlie , the seaway between it and Terschelling that was the estuary of the river IJssel in medieval times .

neg: Belgium Belgium ( -LSB- ˈbɛldʒəm -RSB- België -LSB- ˈbɛlɣijə -RSB- ; Belgique -LSB- bɛlʒik -RSB- ; Belgien -LSB- ˈbɛlɡi̯ən -RSB- ) , officially the Kingdom of Belgium , is a sovereign state in Western Europe bordered by France , the Netherlands , Germany , Luxembourg , and the North Sea . It is a small , densely populated country which covers an area of 30528 km2 and has a population of about 11 million people . Straddling the cultural boundary between Germanic and Latin Europe , Belgium is home to two main linguistic groups : the Dutch-speaking , mostly Flemish community , which constitutes about 59 % of the population , and the French-speaking , mostly Walloon population , which comprises 41 % of all Belgians . Additionally , there is a small group of German-speakers who live in the East Cantons located around the High Fens area , and bordering Germany .   Historically , Belgium , the Netherlands and Luxembourg ( along with parts of Northern France and Western Germany ) were known as the Low Countries ; it once covered a somewhat larger area than the current Benelux group of states . The region was called Belgica in Latin , after the Roman province of Gallia Belgica . From the end of the Middle Ages until the 17th century , the area of Belgium was a prosperous and cosmopolitan centre of commerce and culture . From the 16th century until the Belgian Revolution in 1830 , when Belgium seceded from the Netherlands , the area of Belgium served as the battleground between many European powers , causing it to be dubbed the `` Battlefield of Europe , ''  a reputation strengthened by both world wars .   Today , Belgium is a federal constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of governance . It is divided into three regions and three communities , that exist next to each other . Its two largest regions are the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders in the north and the French-speaking southern region of Wallonia . The Brussels-Capital Region is an officially bilingual ( French and Dutch ) enclave within the Flemish Region .  A German-speaking Community exists in eastern Wallonia .  Belgium 's linguistic diversity and related political conflicts are reflected in its political history and complex system of governance , made up of six different governments .   Belgium participated in the Industrial Revolution  and , during the course of the 20th century , possessed a number of colonies in Africa . The second half of the 20th century was marked by rising tensions between the Dutch-speaking and the French-speaking citizens fueled by differences in language and culture and the unequal economic development of Flanders and Wallonia . This continuing antagonism has led to several far-reaching reforms , resulting in a transition from a unitary to a federal arrangement during the period from 1970 to 1993 . Despite the reforms , tensions between the groups have remained , if not increased ; there is significant separatism particularly among the Flemish ; controversial language laws exist such as the municipalities with language facilities ; and the formation of a coalition government took 18 months following the June 2010 federal election , a world record . Belgium is one of the six founding countries of the European Union and hosts the official seats of the European Commission , Council of the European Union , and European Council , as well as a seat of the European Parliament in the country 's capital , Brussels . Belgium is also a founding member of the Eurozone , NATO , OECD and WTO , and a part of the trilateral Benelux Union . Its capital , Brussels , hosts several of the EU 's official seats as well as the headquarters of many major international organizations such as NATO.Belgium is a member of , or affiliated to , many international organizations , including ACCT , AfDB , AsDB , Australia Group , Benelux , BIS , CCC , CE , CERN , EAPC , EBRD , EIB , EMU , ESA , EU , FAO , G-10 , IAEA , IBRD , ICAO , ICC , ICRM , IDA , IDB , IEA , IFAD , IFC , IFRCS , IHO , ILO , IMF , IMO , IMSO , Intelsat , Interpol , IOC , IOM , ISO , ITU , MONUC ( observers ) , NATO , NEA , NSG , OAS ( observer ) , OECD , OPCW , OSCE , PCA , UN , UNCTAD , UNECE , UNESCO , UNHCR , UNIDO , UNMIK , UNMOGIP , UNRWA , UNTSO , UPU , WADB ( non-regional ) , WEU , WHO , WIPO , WMO , WTrO , ZC . Belgium is also a part of the Schengen Area . Belgium is a developed country , with an advanced high-income economy and is categorized as `` very high '' in the Human Development Index .

neg: Monarchy of the Netherlands The monarchy of the Netherlands is constitutional and as such , the role and position of the monarch are defined and limited by the constitution of the Netherlands . Consequently , a fairly large portion of the Dutch constitution is devoted to the monarch ; roughly a third of the constitution describes the succession , mechanisms of accession and abdication to the throne , the roles and responsibilities of the monarch and the formalities of communication between the States-General of the Netherlands and the role of the monarch in the creation of laws .   The Kingdom of the Netherlands has been an independent monarchy since 16 March 1815 , but its one-time sovereign provinces have intermittently been `` governed '' by members of the House of Orange-Nassau and the House of Nassau from 1559 to 1747 , since Philip II of Spain appointed William of Orange as stadtholder . William became the leader of the Dutch Revolt and the independent Dutch Republic . As stadtholder , he was followed by several of his descendants . In 1747 , the function of stadtholder became a hereditary position in all Provinces of the thus `` crowned '' Dutch Republic . The last stadtholder was William V. His son became the first king as William I.

neg: Noorderhaaks Noorderhaaks ( -LSB- ˌnoːrdərˈɦaːks -RSB- ) , also called Razende bol ( Raging ball in Dutch ) , is an uninhabited Dutch island in the North Sea , a few kilometres west of the Marsdiep which separates the island of Texel from mainland Netherlands . The island covers an area of around five km ² , although the exact area varies due to tide and the dynamic nature of the area .   Being relatively untouched by man , the island has become a valuable location due to its presence of several kinds of seabirds , and seals .   The island is slowly moving eastward towards the Marsdiep and the Molengat , at a pace of around 100 metres a year .   The island is visited by day trippers , and is also being used as a training ground for the Dutch navy and air force .

neg: Port of Rotterdam The Port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe , located in the city of Rotterdam , Netherlands . From 1962 until 2004 it was the world 's busiest port , now overtaken first by Singapore and then Shanghai . In 2011 , Rotterdam was the world 's eleventh-largest container port in terms of twenty-foot equivalent units ( TEU ) handled ( 2009 : tenth ; 2008 : ninth , 2006 : sixth ) . In 2012 Rotterdam was the world 's sixth-largest port in terms of annual cargo tonnage .   Covering 105 km2 , the port of Rotterdam now stretches over a distance of 40 km . It consists of the city centre 's historic harbour area , including Delfshaven ; the Maashaven/Rijnhaven/Feijenoord complex ; the harbours around Nieuw-Mathenesse ; Waalhaven ; Vondelingenplaat ; Eemhaven ; Botlek ; Europoort , situated along the Calandkanaal , Nieuwe Waterweg and Scheur ( the latter two being continuations of the Nieuwe Maas ) ; and the reclaimed Maasvlakte area , which projects into the North Sea .   Rotterdam consists of five distinct port areas and three distribution parks that facilitate the needs of a hinterland with 40,000,000 consumers .

neg: Sint Maarten Sint Maarten ( -LSB- sɪnt ˈmaːrtə ( n ) -RSB- ) is an island country in the Caribbean . It is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands . With a population of 33,609 on an area of 34 km2 , it encompasses the southern 40 % of the divided island of Saint Martin , while the northern 60 % of the island constitutes the French overseas collectivity of Saint-Martin . Its capital is Philipsburg .   Before 10 October 2010 , Sint Maarten was known as the Island Territory of Sint Maarten ( Eilandgebied Sint Maarten ) , and was one of five island territories ( eilandgebieden ) that constituted the Netherlands Antilles .

neg: Zuyderzée Zuyderzée was a department of the First French Empire in the present-day Netherlands . It is named after the Zuiderzee sea inlet . It was formed in 1810 , when the Kingdom of Holland was annexed by France . Its territory corresponded more or less with the present-day Dutch provinces of North Holland and Utrecht . Its capital was Amsterdam .   The department was subdivided into the following arrondissements and cantons ( situation in 1812 ) :   Amsterdam , cantons : Amsterdam ( 6 cantons ) , Baambrugge , Kudelstaart , Loenen , Naarden , Nieuwer-Amstel , Oud-Loosdrecht , Watergraafsmeer and Weesp .  Alkmaar , cantons : Alkmaar ( 2 cantons ) , De Rijp , Schagen , Texel , Wieringen and Zijpe .  Amersfoort , cantons : Amersfoort ( 2 cantons ) , Rhenen and Wijk bij Duurstede .  Haarlem , cantons : Beverwijk , Bloemendaal , Haarlem ( 2 cantons ) , Heemstede , Oostzaandam , Westzaan and Westzaandam .

After Napoleon was defeated in 1814 , the department became part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands .

neg: Supreme Court of the Netherlands The Supreme Court of the Netherlands ( Hoge Raad der Nederlanden -LSB- ˈɦoːɣə raːdɛr ˈneːdərlɑndə ( n ) -RSB- , literally `` High Council of the Netherlands '' ) is one of the highest courts of the Netherlands , Curaçao , Sint Maarten and Aruba . The Court was established on 1 October 1838 and sits in The Hague , Netherlands .   The Court has exclusive final jurisdiction over civil and criminal matters . In certain administrative cases it has final jurisdiction as well , while in other cases this jurisdiction rests with the adjudicative division of the Council of State , the Central Appeals Tribunal , the Trade and Industry Appeals Tribunal as well as judicial institutions in the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands . The Court is a court of cassation , which means that it has the competence to quash or affirm rulings of lower courts , but no competence to re-examine or question the facts . It only considers whether the lower courts applied the law correctly and the rulings have sufficient reasoning . In so doing it establishes case law . According to Article 120 of the Constitution , courts may not rule on the constitutionality of laws passed by the States General and treaties . With the exception of constitutional Court of Sint Maarten courts ( which rules on constitutionality with regards to the Sint Maarten constitution only ) have thus no competence for judicial review with respect to the Constitution .   The Supreme Court currently consists of 36 judges : a president , 6 vice-presidents , 25 justices ( , literally `` Lords of the Council '' ) and 4 justices in exceptional service . All judges are appointed for life , until they retire at their own request or mandatorily at the age of 70 .

neg: German Bight The German Bight ( Deutsche Bucht tyske bugt Duitse bocht Dútske bocht sometimes also the German Bay ) is the southeastern bight of the North Sea bounded by the Netherlands and Germany to the south , and Denmark and Germany to the east ( the Jutland peninsula ) . To the north and west it is limited by the Dogger Bank . The Bight contains the Frisian and Danish Islands . The Wadden Sea is approximately ten to twelve kilometres wide at the location of the German Bight . The Frisian islands and the nearby coastal areas are collectively known as Frisia . The southern portion of the bight is also known as the Heligoland Bight . Between 1949 and 1956 the BBC Sea Area Forecast ( Shipping Forecast ) used `` Heligoland '' as the designation for the area now referred to as German Bight .

neg: Norderland The Norderland was a historic territory , set on the northwestern edge of East Frisia immediately next to the Wadden Sea off North Germany , which embraced a wide area around the town of Norden . The Norderland was bordered in the east by the Harlingerland and in the south by the Brokmerland .   Today , Norderland refers to the area containing the borough of Norden , the collective municipality of Hage , Großheide and Dornum . Occasionally the term Norderland is also used to refer to the territory of the former district of Norden . Historically , however , this also included parts of Bro ( o ) kmerland and Emsigerland .

neg: British Overseas Territories The 14 British Overseas Territories ( BOT ) are territories under the jurisdiction and sovereignty of the United Kingdom . They are the parts of the British Empire that have not been granted independence or have voted to remain British territories . These territories do not form part of the United Kingdom and , with the exception of Gibraltar , are not part of the European Union . Most of the inhabited territories are internally self-governing , with the UK retaining responsibility for defence and foreign relations . The rest are either uninhabited or have a transitory population of military or scientific personnel . They share the British monarch ( Elizabeth II ) as head of state .   The term `` British Overseas Territory '' was introduced by the British Overseas Territories Act 2002 , replacing the term British Dependent Territory , introduced by the British Nationality Act 1981 . Prior to 1 January 1983 , the territories were officially referred to as British Crown Colonies . With the exceptions of the British Antarctic Territory and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands ( which host only officials and research station staff ) and the British Indian Ocean Territory ( used as a military base ) , the Territories retain permanent civilian populations . Permanent residency for the 7,000 or so civilians living in the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia is limited to citizens of the Republic of Cyprus .   Collectively , the Territories encompass a population of about 250,000 people and a land area of about 667018 sqmi . The vast majority of this land area , 660000 sqmi , constitutes the almost uninhabited British Antarctic Territory , while the largest territory by population , Bermuda , accounts for almost a quarter of the total BOT population . At the other end of the scale , three territories have no civilian population ; the Antarctic territory , the British Indian Ocean Territory ( from which the Chagos Islanders were controversially removed ) and South Georgia . Pitcairn Islands , settled by the survivors of the Mutiny on the Bounty , is the smallest settled territory with 49 inhabitants , while the smallest by land area is Gibraltar on the southern tip of the Iberian peninsula . The United Kingdom participates in the Antarctic Treaty System and , as part of a mutual agreement , the British Antarctic Territory is recognised by four of the other sovereign nations making claims to Antarctic territory .   Although the Crown dependencies of Jersey , Guernsey and the Isle of Man are also under the sovereignty of the British monarch , they are in a different constitutional relationship with the United Kingdom . The British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies are themselves distinct from the Commonwealth realms , a group of 15 independent countries ( and the United Kingdom ) which each also have Elizabeth II as their reigning monarch , and from the Commonwealth of Nations , a voluntary association of 52 countries mostly with historic links to the British Empire ( which also includes all Commonwealth realms ) .   the Minister responsible for the Territories excluding the Falkland Islands , Gibraltar and the Sovereign Base Areas is Baroness Anelay , Minister of State for the Commonwealth and the UN . The other three territories are the responsibility of Sir Alan Duncan MP , Minister of State for Europe and the Americas .

neg: Zeelandic Flanders Zeelandic Flanders ( -LSB- ˌzeːu̯sˈflaːndərə ( n ) -RSB- , Zeelandic : Zeêuws-Vlaonderen ) is the southernmost region of the province of Zeeland in the south-western Netherlands . It lies south of the Western Scheldt that separates the region from the remainder of Zeeland to the north . Zeelandic Flanders is bordered to the south by Belgium .

neg: Dutch Americans Dutch Americans are Americans of Dutch descent whose ancestors came from The Netherlands in the recent or distant past . Whether intentional or not , they usually maintain connections with their Dutch heritage , by having , for example , a Dutch surname or belonging to a Dutch community group . Dutch settlement in the Americas started in 1613 with New Amsterdam , which was exchanged with the British for the current Suriname at the treaty of Breda ( 1667 ) and renamed New York City . The British split the Dutch colony of New Netherlands into two pieces , and named them New York and New Jersey . Further waves of immigration occurred in the 19th and 20th centuries .   According to the 2013 American Community Survey , an estimated 4.5 million Americans claim total or partial Dutch heritage . Today the majority of the Dutch Americans live in Michigan , California , Montana , Minnesota , New York , Wisconsin , Idaho , Utah , Iowa , Ohio , West Virginia , and Pennsylvania .

neg: Voordelta The Voordelta is the coastal area in the North Sea , protected under Natura-2000 . It is located to the west of the islands of the provinces of South Holland and Zeeland , around the deltas of Haringvliet , Grevelingen , and Oosterschelde . The total area of Voordelta is about 900 km ² .

neg: Principality of Nassau-Orange-Fulda Nassau-Orange-Fulda was a short-lived principality of the Holy Roman Empire , which was created for the son and heir of the Prince of Orange and Prince of Orange-Nassau and existed only from 1803 to 1806 .   In 1795 the William V , Prince of Orange-Nassau , lost all his possessions in the Low Countries because of the rise of the Batavian Republic , a client state of the French Republic .   On May 23 , 1802 , France and Prussia concluded a treaty in which Fulda and some other areas were promised to the Prince of Orange as compensation for the loss of his domains in the Low Countries . Willem V refused at first , but later accepted the offer in favour for his son Prince Willem Frederik ( later King William I of the Netherlands ) to become the ruler of the new formed principality . On October 22 , Prussian troops occupied the Diocese of Fulda to secure the interests of the prince and on 6 December Prince Willem Frederik held his entry in Fulda . The Reichsdeputationshauptschluss resolution on 25 February 1803 , legalized the redistribution of the territories . According to section 12 of this resolution the following areas were transferred to the rule of the new Prince of Nassau-Orange-Fulda :   Diocese of Fulda  Corvey Abbey  Free Imperial City of Dortmund  Weingarten Abbey and the priorate Hofen  Provostry of St. Gerold ( in Vorarlberg , 1804 sold to Austria )  Deanery of Bandern ( in Liechtenstein , 1804 sold to Austria )  Dietkirchen Abbey ( Nassau )   The areas were reorganised into the four divisions `` Principality of Fulda '' , `` Principality of Corvey '' , `` County of Dortmund '' and `` Lordship of Weingarten '' . The arms of the principality included the coat of arms of these areas ( with the center-shield the arms of the Prince of Orange-Nassau ) .   With the death of his father William V on 9 April 1806 , Prince Willem Frederik also inherited all the Nassau core territories . However , on 12 July 1806 he lost the Lordship of Weingarten and the Nassau territories because of the formation of the Confederation of the Rhine . By the German Mediatisation , the Lordship of Weingarten was incorporated into the Kingdom of Württemberg and the Nassau core territories into the Grand Duchy of Berg and the Duchy of Nassau .   After the military defeat of Prussia by France , the Prince of Orange subsequently lost his remaining possessions ( including the mediated ones ) . Fulda was occupied by the French troops on 27 October 1806 . It remained under French rule until 19 May 1810 , when it was incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt . Subsequently , Corvey was incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia on 7 December 1807 and Dortmund into the Grand Duchy of Berg on 1 March 1808 .   With the defeat of the French in 1813 , the Prince of Orange regained his possessions in the Low Countries but lost his claims to the principality Nassau-Orange-Fulda . By the final act of the Congress of Vienna in 1815 , it was decided not to restore the Principality of Nassau-Orange-Fulda ; Corvey and Dortmund became part of the Kingdom of Prussia and Fulda was divided between the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel , the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach , and the Kingdom of Bavaria .

neg: Frisian Islands The Frisian Islands , also known as the Wadden Islands or Wadden Sea Islands , form an archipelago at the eastern edge of the North Sea in northwestern Europe , stretching from the northwest of the Netherlands through Germany to the west of Denmark . The islands shield the mudflat region of the Wadden Sea ( large parts of which fall dry during low tide ) from the North Sea .   The Frisian Islands , along with the mainland coast in the German Bight , form the region of Frisia ( German and Dutch : Friesland ) , homeland of the Frisian people . Generally , the term Frisian Islands is used for the islands where Frisian is spoken and the population is ethnically Frisian . In contrast , the term Wadden Islands applies to the entire archipelago , including the Dutch speaking western islands of Texel and Vlieland in North Holland and Danish-speaking Danish Wadden Sea Islands further north off the west coast of Jutland .   Most of the Frisian Islands are environmentally protected areas , and an international wildlife nature reserve is being coordinated between the Netherlands , Germany and Denmark . Natural gas and oil drilling continue , however , and in the vicinity of the Ems , Weser and Elbe estuaries , and ship traffic causes tension between wildlife protection and economic values .

neg: Rottumerplaat Rottumerplaat ( -LSB- ˌrɔtɵmərˈplaːt -RSB- ) is one of the three islands that make up Rottum in the West Frisian Islands . The island is located in the North Sea off the Dutch coast . It is situated between the islands of Schiermonnikoog and Rottumeroog .   Access to the island is prohibited since Rottumerplaat is a resting and forage area for numerous bird species . Rijkswaterstaat , Staatsbosbeheer and the Ministry of Agriculture , Nature and Food Quality are responsible for the administration of the island . Twice a year marine debris is cleaned from the island .   Sediment deposition has caused the island to become significantly larger in recent years .   Rottumerplaat is the northernmost point of the Netherlands .

neg: Archipelagic state An archipelagic state is any internationally recognized state or country that comprises a series of islands that form an archipelago . The term is defined by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in order to define what borders such states should be allowed to claim .   In various conferences , Fiji , Indonesia , Papua New Guinea , the Bahamas , and the Philippines are the five sovereign states that obtained approval in the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea signed in Montego Bay , Jamaica on December 10 , 1982 and qualified as archipelagic states .   Archipelagic states are states that are composed of groups of islands forming a state as a single unit , with the islands and the waters within the baselines as internal waters . Under this concept ( `` archipelagic doctrine '' ) , an archipelago shall be regarded as a single unit , so that the waters around , between , and connecting the islands of the archipelago , irrespective of their breadth and dimensions , form part of the internal waters of the state , and are subject to its exclusive sovereignty .   The approval of the United Nations for the five sovereign states as archipelagic states respect existing agreements with other countries and shall recognize traditional fishing rights and other legitimate activities of the immediately adjacent neighboring countries in certain areas falling within archipelagic waters . The terms and conditions for the exercise of such rights and activities , including the nature , the extent and the areas to which they apply , shall , at the request of any of the countries concerned , be regulated by bilateral agreements between them . Such rights shall not be transferred to or shared with third countries or their nationals .

neg: Woodward's Building The Woodward 's Building was a historic building in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver , British Columbia , Canada . The original portion of the building was constructed in 1903 for the Woodward 's Department Store when that area of Cordova Street was the heart of Vancouver 's retail shopping district . At one time this was the premiere shopping destination in Vancouver . The store was famous for its Christmas window displays and its basement Food Floor , and the `` W '' sign at the top of the building was a distinctive landmark on the Vancouver skyline .   Since the bankruptcy of Woodward 's in 1993 the building remained vacant except for a housing occupation in 2002 that initiated the redevelopment process . Redevelopment was seen by many as a key to revitalizing the Downtown Eastside , but the demolition of the structure in 2006 and redevelopment of the site has been met with much local resistance from the existing residents of the neighborhood . The Woodward 's redevelopment is now complete with many residents and businesses now in the buildings .

neg: Queanbeyan Queanbeyan -LSB- ˈkwiːnbiən -RSB- is a city in south-eastern New South Wales , located adjacent to the Australian Capital Territory in the Southern Tablelands region . Located on the Queanbeyan River , the city is the council seat of the Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council . At the , it had a population of 37,991 .   Queanbeyan 's economy is based on light construction , manufacturing , service , retail and agriculture . Canberra , Australia 's capital , is located just 15 km to the west , and Queanbeyan has to some extent become a commuter town . The word Queanbeyan is the anglicised form of Quinbean , an Aboriginal word meaning `` clear waters '' .

neg: Chinatown, Vancouver Chinatown in Vancouver , British Columbia is Canada 's largest Chinatown . Centred on Pender Street , it is surrounded by Gastown and the Downtown Financial and Central Business Districts to the west , the Downtown Eastside to the north , the remnant of old Japantown to the northeast , and the residential neighbourhood of Strathcona to the east . The approximate street borders of Chinatown 's official area as designated by the City of Vancouver are the alley between Pender Street and Hastings , Georgia , Gore , and Taylor Streets , although its unofficial boundaries extend well into the rest of the Downtown Eastside . Main , Pender , and Keefer Streets are the principal areas of commercial activity .   Chinatown remains a popular tourist attraction , and is one of the largest historic Chinatowns in North America . However , it went into decline as newer members of Vancouver 's Cantonese Chinese community dispersed to other areas of the metropolis . It has been more recently overshadowed by the newer Chinese immigrant business district along No. 3 Road in the City of Richmond , which is a municipality of Greater Vancouver . Many affluent Hong Kong and Taiwanese immigrants have moved there since the late 1980s , coinciding with the increase of Chinese-ethnic retail and restaurants in that area . This new area is designated the `` Golden Village '' by the City of Richmond , which met resistance to the proposed renaming of the area to `` Chinatown '' both from merchants in Vancouver 's Chinatown and also from non-Chinese residents and merchants in Richmond itself .   Chinatown was once known for its neon signs but like the rest of the city lost many of the spectacular signs to changing times and a new sign by law passed in 1974 . The last of these was the Ho Ho sign ( which showed a rice bowl and chop sticks ) which was removed in 1997 . Ongoing efforts at revitalization include efforts by the business community to improve safety by hiring private security ; looking at new marketing promotions and introducing residential units into the neighbourhood by restoring and renovating some of the heritage buildings . Current focus is on the restoration and adaptive reuse of the distinctive Association buildings .   Due to the large ethnic Chinese presence in Vancouver -- especially represented by multi-generation Chinese Canadians and first-generation immigrants from Hong Kong -- the city has been referred to as `` Hongcouver '' and `` Vongkong '' ( a term considered derogatory by some Chinese ) .

neg: List of Grade B+ listed buildings in County Antrim This is a list of Grade B + listed buildings in County Antrim , Northern Ireland .   In Northern Ireland , the term listed building refers to a building or other structure officially designated as being of `` special architectural or historic interest '' . Grade B + structures are those considered to be `` buildings which might have merited grade A status but for detracting features such as an incomplete design , lower quality additions or alterations . Also included are buildings that because of exceptional features , interiors or environmental qualities are clearly above the general standard set by grade B buildings . A building may merit listing as grade B + where its historic importance is greater than a similar building listed as grade B. ''   Listing began later in Northern Ireland than in the rest of the UK ; the first provision for listing was contained in the Planning ( Northern Ireland ) Order 1972 , and the current legislative basis for listing is the Planning ( Northern Ireland ) Order 1991 . Under Article 42 of the Order , the Department of the Environment of the Northern Ireland Executive is required to compile lists of buildings of `` special architectural or historic interest '' . The responsibility for the listing process rests with the Northern Ireland Environment Agency ( NIEA ) , an executive agency within the Department of the Environment .   Following the introduction of listing , an initial survey of Northern Ireland 's building stock was begun in 1974 . By the time of the completion of this First Survey in 1994 , the listing process had developed considerably , and it was therefore decided to embark upon a Second Survey to update and cross-check the original information . , the Second Survey had been completed for 147 of Northern Ireland 's 547 council wards , and completion is anticipated by 2016 . Information gathered during this survey , relating to both listed and unlisted buildings , is entered into the publicly accessible Northern Ireland Buildings Database . A range of listing criteria , which aim to define architectural and historic interest , have been developed by the NIEA , and are used to determine whether or not to list a building .   Once listed , severe restrictions are imposed on the modifications allowed to a building 's structure or its fittings . Listed building consent must be obtained from local authorities prior to any alteration to such a structure . There are approximately 8,500 listed buildings in Northern Ireland , representing 2 % of the total building stock . Of these , around 580 are listed at Grade B + .   County Antrim covers 2844 sqkm , and has a population of around 616,000 . The County has 157 Grade B + listed buildings .

neg: Old Kildonan Old Kildonan is a former municipality and city ward of Winnipeg , Manitoba , represented by a member of Winnipeg City Council . Before the City of Winnipeg Act of 1972 , it was an independent rural municipality . The population was 39,358 ( Source : Statistics Canada ) .   The Rural Municipality of Old Kildonan was originally part of the Rural Municipality of Kildonan , which was formed in 1875 in Manitoba .   This was part of the Red River Colony , and originally rivalled Fort Garry in the Winnipeg area .   It is bounded by the Red River on the east ; the North Limit of the City of Winnipeg on the north ; Pipeline Road , Mollard Road , Ritchie Street , Farmer Avenue , and Keewatin Street on the west ; and Carruthers Avenue , McPhillips Street , Templeton Avenue , the Canadian Pacific Railway Winnipeg Beach Subdivision , Seaforth Avenue , Main Street , and the north limit of the Kildonan Golf Course on the south .   From 1875 to 1914 , Kildonan covered a large area on both sides of the Red River , just north of the original City of Winnipeg . In 1914 , Kildonan was divided : The area east of the river became the R. M. of East Kildonan , and the area west of the river became the R. M. of West Kildonan . At that time , West Kildonan included the area of Old Kildonan but on July 1,1921 the two municipalities divided , as West Kildonan had been developed as a residential suburb of Winnipeg , and wanted expensive urban services , while Old Kildonan remained primarily rural , and still had the rural farming character of the `` Old '' Parish of Kildonan . The area did not see substantial development until the late 1960s with the construction of The Maples subdivision , and even today contains substantial undeveloped areas and a number of farms .

neg: Grade II listed buildings in Brighton and Hove: M As of February 2001 , there were 1,124 listed buildings with Grade II status in the English city of Brighton and Hove . The total at 2009 was similar . The city , on the English Channel coast approximately 52 mi south of London , was formed as a unitary authority in 1997 by the merger of the neighbouring towns of Brighton and Hove . Queen Elizabeth II granted city status in 2000 .   In England , a building or structure is defined as `` listed '' when it is placed on a statutory register of buildings of `` special architectural or historic interest '' by the Secretary of State for Culture , Media and Sport , a Government department , in accordance with the Planning ( Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas ) Act 1990 . English Heritage , a non-departmental public body , acts as an agency of this department to administer the process and advise the department on relevant issues . There are three grades of listing status . The Grade II designation is the lowest , and is used for `` nationally important buildings of special interest '' . Grade II * is used for `` particularly important buildings of more than special interest '' ; there are 69 such buildings in the city . There are also 24 Grade I listed buildings ( defined as being of `` exceptional interest '' and greater than national importance , and the highest of the three grades ) in Brighton and Hove .   This list summarises 131 Grade II-listed buildings and structures whose names begin with M. Numbered buildings with no individual name are listed by the name of the street they stand on . Some listings include contributory fixtures such as surrounding walls or railings in front of the building . These are summarised by notes alongside the building name .

neg: Winnipeg into the '90s Winnipeg into the '90s was an alliance of progressive and left-leaning municipal politicians in the Canadian city of Winnipeg , Manitoba . It endorsed several candidates in the city 's municipal elections of 1989 , 1992 and 1995 , including future mayor Glen Murray and future provincial Premier Greg Selinger .   `` WIN '' was formed to oppose the `` Gang of 18 '' , an informal group of right-wing municipal councillors who held a majority on council and met regularly before official council meetings to determine the city 's agenda . The `` Gang of 18 '' was a successor to the Independent Citizens ' Election Committee , a right-wing municipal party that dominated Winnipeg 's city council from the early 1970s to the early 1980s .   Several WIN candidates were successful in the 1989 election , and the council was no longer under the control of any faction after the election . WIN continued as a political organization in Winnipeg , under the name Winnipeg in the '90s .

neg: Stickeen Territories The Stickeen Territories -LSB- stɪˈkiːn -RSB- , also colloquially rendered as Stickeen Territory , Stikine Territory , and Stikeen Territory , was a territory of British North America whose brief existence began July 19 , 1862 , and concluded July of the following year . The region was split from the North-Western Territory in the wake of the Stikine Gold Rush . The initial strike attracted large numbers of miners -- mostly American -- to the region ; by detaching the region from the exclusive trade zone of the Hudson 's Bay Company , British authorities were able to impose tariffs and licences on the speculators . The new territory , named after the Stikine River , was under the responsibility of the Governor of the Colony of British Columbia , James Douglas , who was appointed `` Administrator of the Stickeen Territories '' and under British law , within the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of British Columbia .   The boundaries of the territory were : the 62nd parallel to the North , the 125th meridian to the East , the Nass and Finlay Rivers to the South , and the panhandle of Russian America to the west ( only vaguely defined by treaty and disputed until resolved with the Alaska Boundary Settlement of 1903 ) .   A year later , the Stickeen was added to the Colony of British Columbia ( along with the Colony of the Queen Charlotte Islands ) , except for the sector north of the 60th parallel , which was returned to the North-Western Territory . In 1895 , this strip was again redistributed , this time to the District of Yukon , as newly constituted during the midst of the Klondike Gold Rush .

neg: History of Brisbane Brisbane 's recorded history dates from 1799 , when Matthew Flinders explored Moreton Bay on an expedition from Port Jackson , although the region had long been occupied by the Jagera and Turrbal aboriginal tribes . The town was conceived initially as a penal colony for British convicts sent from Sydney . Its suitability for fishing , farming , timbering , and other occupations , however , caused it to be opened to free settlement in 1838 . The town became a municipality in 1859 and a consolidated metropolitan area in 1924 . The city hosted the 1982 Commonwealth Games , World Expo 88 , and the 2014 G20 Brisbane summit .

neg: Australian Capital Territory The Australian Capital Territory ( ACT ; formerly , `` The Territory for the Seat of Government '' and , later , the `` Federal Capital Territory '' ) is the federal district in the south east of Australia , enclaved within New South Wales . Its only city is Canberra , the capital city of Australia .   Geographically , the territory is bounded by the Goulburn-Cooma railway line in the east , the watershed of Naas Creek in the south , the watershed of the Cotter River in the west , and the watershed of the Molonglo River in the north-east . The ACT also has a small strip of territory around the southern end of the Beecroft Peninsula , which is the northern headland of Jervis Bay .   The need for a national territory was flagged by colonial delegates during the Federation conventions of the late 19th century . Section 125 of the Australian Constitution provided that , following Federation in 1901 , land would be ceded freely to the new Federal Government . The territory was transferred to the Commonwealth by the state of New South Wales in 1911 , two years prior to the naming of Canberra as the national capital in 1913 . The floral emblem of the ACT is the royal bluebell and the bird emblem is the gang-gang cockatoo .   The economic activity of the Australian Capital Territory is heavily concentrated around Canberra . A stable housing market , steady employment and rapid population growth in the 21st century have led to economic prosperity and in 2011 CommSec ranked the ACT as the second best performing economic region in the country . This trend continued into 2016 , when the territory was ranked the third best performing out of all of Australia 's states and territories . There is a higher proportion of young adults in the region compared with other Australian states or territories . Approximately one-fifth of ACT residents were born outside of Australia , mainly in the United Kingdom . Almost one-fifth speak a language other than English at home , the most common being Chinese .

neg: Order of Good Cheer The Order of Good Cheers ( French : L'Ordre de Bon Temps ) , was originally a French Colonial Order founded by suggestion of Samuel de Champlain upon arrival in New France , present day Canada . The Order of Good Cheer , was founded at Port-Royal , Nova Scotia and was originally chartered under the Royal auspices of the Baron de Poutrincourt and Pierre Dugua , Sieur de Mons . The Order 's practices were established by the first Chief Steward Marc Lescarbot .   On May 11 , 2001 , the Speaker of the House in Nova Scotia , Canada , the Hon. Murray Scott reaffirmed official recognition of the Order in Canada as grant of the Province under the custodianship of the Nova Scotia Ministry of Heritage . According to resolution 1111 , the minimum condition of membership to the Order is that a pledge to visit Nova Scotia must be made . The Order is generally presented in recognition of individuals valued by the Province of Nova Scotia or in honour of the Acadian tradition in Canada .   One becomes a member of the Order of Good Cheer by receiving an invitation from the Province of Nova Scotia or by a Chevalier / Member of the Order .   It was after an impossible winter at Ste. Croix Island where many of the first French settlers in North America died of scurvy that the French fur trading colony relocated across the Baie Française ( Bay of Fundy ) , settling the following year in a location they named Port-Royal .   At the time it was believed that `` land sickness '' ( now known as scurvy ) was caused by idleness , so Champlain organized the Order to include not just food , but also entertainment . The first meeting , which took place on November 14 , 1606 , included a theatrical performance called `` Le Theatre de Neptune en la Nouvelle-France '' . The play told the story of sailors travelling to the New World , only to encounter Neptune , god of the sea on the way .   The Baron de Poutrincourt , Intendant to the King of France in North America , had been on an expedition on the Atlantic coast to the coast of present-day Maine , and , on the occasion of his return to the fort at Port-Royal , the Order was founded at a glorious reception , the preparations for which reportedly involved all those remaining at Port-Royal .   His return on the 14th of November , 1606 , is a date to remember in the annals of the New World , as the establishment of the first North American order of chivalry and the birth of the Nouveau Noblesse of New France . The feasting of the Order occurred weekly and continued throughout the winter until the last of March , only to recommence annually in the Fall .   The first toast of the Order made by the Baron de Poutrincourt :   Quoting Lescarbot , the French historian François-Edme Rameau de Saint-Père writes :  Poutrincourt returned from his excursion on the 14th November , 1606 ; Lescarbot , who was always full of ideas , and who knew , no doubt , the useful part to be obtained by exterior demonstrations , foresaw to prepare for his honor a quasi - triumphal return from his voyage ; Nature itself has already furnished the principle -LSB- sic -RSB- initiative , and advantage of it had been taken , everywhere were decorations and garlands of natural green ; a magnificent forest hid the rusticity of wooden buildings and huts ; even a theatre was built where allegoric scenes were represented ; there was a feast , a discharge of musketry , and as much noise as could be made by some fifty men , joined by a few Indians , whose families served as spectators .   In 1606 , there were less than 70 men at Port-Royal . Lescarbot states that , in total , about 50 Frenchmen , joined by Indians , participated in the welcoming home of Poutrincourt and the first gathering of the Order . However only fifteen men of birth are recognized as founding the Order . These would have been the only men present at the time of sufficient social standing with whom Champlain and the Baron de Poutrincourt would care to dine . The guests of the Order likely sat at other tables , probably getting equally good dinners as the rest , but without being recognized as official members of the Order .   Likely everyone at the settlement took part in the staging of `` Le Théâtre de Neptune en la Nouvelle-France , '' written by Lescarbot and performed at the first celebration Order , which was the first theatrical performance in North America .

neg: 52nd Academy Awards The 52nd Academy Awards were presented April 14 , 1980 , at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles . The ceremonies were presided over by Johnny Carson who , in noting the long duration of the production , joked that President Jimmy Carter was working hard for their `` release '' from the ceremonies , a clear reference to the Iranian hostage crisis .   Among the nominees for Best Supporting Actor were 8 year-old Justin Henry -- the youngest Best Supporting Actor nominee ever -- and 79-year-old Melvyn Douglas . This was the largest age difference between two competing actors in Oscar history until 2013 . Ironically , their age difference was partially the reason why Douglas did not attend the Oscars that night , despite winning the award . Henry was nominated for Kramer vs. Kramer , which out of its eight other nominations , finished with five awards , including Best Picture , Best Director for Robert Benton , and Best Actor for Dustin Hoffman .

neg: 26th Academy Awards The 26th Academy Awards honored the best in films of 1953 .   The second national telecast of the Awards show drew an estimated 43 million viewers . Shirley Booth , appearing in a play in Philadelphia , presented the Best Actor award through a live broadcast cut-in , and privately received the winner 's name over the telephone from co-host Donald O'Connor . ( Actor Fredric March co-hosted from New York City . ) Gary Cooper filmed his presentation of the Best Actress award in advance on a set in Mexico , with O'Connor announcing the winner 's name .   All the major winners in this year were black-and-white films . The big winner was Fred Zinnemann 's From Here to Eternity , with thirteen nominations and eight awards including Best Picture , Best Supporting Actor , Best Supporting Actress , Best Director , Best Screenplay ( Daniel Taradash ) , Best Cinematography ( Burnett Guffey ) , Best Sound , and Best Film Editing . All five of its major actors and actresses were nominated , with secondary players Donna Reed and Frank Sinatra taking home Oscars . The candid film was based on James Jones ' controversial , best-selling novel about Army life on a Hawaiian ( Oahu ) military base just prior to the Pearl Harbor attack and World War II , illustrating the conflict between an individualistic private ( Montgomery Clift ) and rigid institutional authority ( exemplified by the Army ) . Its achievement of eight awards matched the then record held by Gone with the Wind ( 1939 ) . The record would be tied again the following year by On the Waterfront ( 1954 ) . Walt Disney won four awards , which remains the record for the most Oscars won in the same year .   William Holden 's speech for Best Actor for his role in Stalag 17 was simply `` Thank You '' , making it one of the shortest speeches ever ; the TV broadcast had a strict cutoff time which forced Holden 's quick remarks . The frustrated Holden personally paid for advertisements in the Hollywood trade publications to thank everyone he wanted to on Oscar night . He also remarked that he felt that either Burt Lancaster or Montgomery Clift should have won the Best Actor Oscar for From Here to Eternity , instead of him .

neg: Awards of the United States Department of State The United States Department of State , like other agencies of the U.S. federal government , gives civilian decorations for outstanding service , sacrifice , or heroism . The criteria for the awards are set down in 3 FAM 4820 - Foreign Affairs Manual , 3 FAM - Personnel , section 3 FAM 4800 Department Awards Program .   State Department awards are broken down into four types : honor awards , achievement awards , service awards , and recognition awards . In addition , there are awards which are no longer given but for which certificates , ribbons , or medals may still be occasionally seen .   The Foreign Affairs Manual described the purpose of Department of State honor awards as to `` bestow recognition on an individual or group who has made a significant contribution to the agency 's mission '' and states that `` The honor awards vary in scope and magnitude . The impact of the act or deed which precipitates the nomination must be carefully examined , and consideration given to whether the act to be recognized benefits the post or bureau , the area , the agency , or the Federal Government as a whole . '' Upon authorization , members of the U.S. military may wear the medal and ribbon in the appropriate order of precedence as a U.S. non-military personal decoration .   As delineated in numerous diplomatic cables describing each one , achievement awards recognize specific service over the previous year in a specific field or job category . The majority of the awards include a certificate , signed by the Secretary of State and a cash bonus . The cash bonuses range from zero to $ 10,000 . Some awards are sponsored by private donors , who are often former members of the Foreign Service . There is a minimum requirement for several valid nominations in a category in order for some awards to be presented ; if there are insufficient nominees or the nominations do not meet a specific threshold , then no award is presented that year . Currently , none of the achievement awards includes a medal set .   Service awards are common for the Armed Forces but are not currently favored by the Director General of the Foreign Service . The Department of State currently awards two service awards , the Secretary 's Career Achievement Award and the Expeditionary Service Award . The Expeditionary Service Award is a new award as of 2011 that recognizes service by Civil and Foreign Service employees in areas designated by the Director General of the Foreign Service .

neg: Prix d'Astronautique The Prix d'Astronautique ( Astronautics Prize ) was an international award of the Société astronomique de France , the French astronomical society , given in recognition of the study of interplanetary travel and astronautics . Specifically , the award was given `` to recognize the best original scientific work , theoretical or experimental , that is able to advance one of the questions related to the realisation of space travel , or to increase human understanding of one of the branches related to the science of astronautics . ''   Established by aviation and astronautical pioneer Robert Esnault-Pelterie and André-Louis Hirsch , a sponsor for early astronautics in France , it was the first prize for astronautics in the world .   The idea for establishing the prize originated during a dinner Hirsch and Esnault-Pelterie organised in Paris on 26 December 1927 . Their guests discussed the emerging science of space travel , which they called `` astronautics '' at the suggestion of science fiction writer J.H. Rosny the elder .
