Geek alert, and nitpicking, but still:
In the text you get when you start with William of Orange, it starts off with saying that William's "undertaking allowed for the creation of one of Europe's first modern republics, the Seven United Provinces"
A little bit further it says:
"Can you once again secure the sovereignty of your kingdom [..]"
The NL might be a kingdom now, but it definitely wasn't William's, who was renown for quotes like: "As for myself [..] I will never give any colour to the tyrannical claim of kings to dictate to the consciences of their people."
