Hi, it isnt,

The Netherlands has 12 "states"

Actually, while the Netherlands has twelve provinces, not states, two of them began as one county, Holland, which was originally known as West Frisia. The Frisian counts of Holland ruled until around 1300, by which time they also ruled Zeeland, and the Counts of Hainaut succeeded them as Counts of Holland and Zeeland. Eventually, Holland became part of the Hapsburg possessions and rebelled against its last count, Philip II of Spain. The province, which contained both Amsterdam (the seat of government) and The Hague (the seat of the States-General), was divided into North Holland and South Holland in 1830 after Belgium rebelled to separate itself from the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
