 At the Congress of Copenhagen and successive treaties, the Netherlands gained legal recognition for their suzerainty over the German lands they had occupied during the war, and also were awarded the northern reaches of Antipodea (Australia) which they named Nieuw Holland in pointed reference to the fact that the continent had originally been discovered by Dutch navigators long before.  At the Congress of Copenhagen and successive treaties, the Netherlands gained legal recognition for their suzerainty over the German lands they had occupied during the war, and also were awarded the northern reaches of Antipodea (Australia) which they named Nieuw Holland in pointed reference to the fact that the continent had originally been discovered by Dutch navigators long before.

 //Geoctroyeerde Westindische Compagnie// in Dutch. The GWC has declined since its heyday in the 17th century, with its chief North American possession of New Netherland having been conquered by the British and turned into New York, and increasing British and American domination of the Caribbean Sea. The GWC continues to run Dutch Suriname and the trading posts in Guinea, of which it has picked up several more from the Danes when Christian VII sold off Denmark's African interests. //Geoctroyeerde Westindische Compagnie// in Dutch.
