Flag of the United Netherlands
The United Netherlands are an emergent faction in Napoleon: Total War.
General Information[]
The United Netherlands emerge if the region of the Netherlands has a successful rebellion or is liberated. The region of the Netherlands is bordered by Flanders to the south (initially controlled by France), Frisia to the east (initially held by Oldenburg), and Cleves-Mark to the south-east (initially held by Prussia). The Netherlands themselves begin the campaign controlled by the Batavian Republic. It is possible for both the United Netherlands and the Batavian Republic to exist at the same time if the Batavian Republic had conquered a region before losing the Netherlands has a successful rebellion.
As the Netherlands is home to a 3-slot city, a port, and a university, it can become a significant power in its own right.

Military[]
The United Netherlands has a generally mediocre unit roster, consisting of average militia, line infantry, light infantry, skirmishers, and grenadiers. It lacks guard units and lancers. It has a few advantages, however: its light cavalry are cheap, and it has access to Carabiniers, heavy cavalry with a good defense stat. The United Netherlands fields the standard minor faction artillery roster.
At sea, the United Netherlands has an average ship roster.
Multiplayer[]
The United Netherlands has the unique distinctions of being the only emergent faction available for multiplayer battles and of being only available for land battles (the Batavian Republic is playable at sea, instead). With its aforementioned generally poor unit roster it can be a challenge to play as.
