We don't really see it that way. I mean some people do, but not the overwhelming majority. For most Dutch people "Holland" is totally fine even if they're from Brabant or Limburg. In fact until recently the country 'marketed' itself as Holland internationally.

The Quebecians also inherited the chauvinism of the French (similar to the Wallonians in Belgium) so for them it's a huuuuge issue. But we don't really have that kind of nationalism.
