What is "zeeland"

Zeeland (; , Zeelandic: Zeêland ) is the westernmost province of the Netherlands.

Its area is about , of which almost is water, and it has a population of about 380,000.

Large parts of Zeeland are below sea level. The last great flooding of the area was in 1953. Tourism is an important economic activity. In the summer, its beaches make it a popular destination for tourists, especially German tourists. In some areas, the population can be two to four times higher during the high summer season. The coat of arms of Zeeland shows a lion half-emerged from water, and the text "luctor et emergo" ( Latin for "I struggle and I emerge"). The country of New Zealand is named after Zeeland (not Zealand (Sjælland) in Denmark, as sometimes claimed).
