That's the Netherworld. Common mistake.
Don’t mistake the Netherlands for the Nether Regions either.
I did that once, wasn't so bad. The people at the embassy just politely referred me to the Red Light District 🤷
Nether World is in Orlando. Europe has only Nether Land
In Germany the streets are far too often a fight for survival. I miss the Netherlands, driving there, bike or car, was so much more relaxing.
But, you know, Germans and their cars...
In my experience the bike infrastructure was great, but riding the bike in the city was more stressful than in Germany.

In Europe you don't need countries for this. The smallest federal country will have a clear difference on the road at the border of two federated entities. Worst, it can happen between municipalities in some countries.

There are other countries as stupid as Germany? I thought we were alone!

Looks like a protected chunk in Minecraft.
I know that place. The borders between the Ellestraat (Hulst, NL) and the Hellestraat (Stekene, BE).
The right side of the street on the Belgian part is actually Dutch for a few 100 meters. If you look around on street view the part with a bicycle lane is Belgian, the part without it is Dutch.

Yes, the country where you see on Monday who is going to visit you on Tuesday and where the highest hills are the dikes
I don't see who any of this is a bad thing.
It isn't, the only bad thing of the Netherland are the drivers with caravans on the motorways and roads in the rest of the EU, ah, well, maybe their beer 🤢

It is not even a joke. Every time we cross the border between the Netherlands and Belgium in a car, we laugh about how distinct it is.

It's so eerily flat there, it's unsettling. I don't understand how people can stand it.
Simple, they stand up on flat ground
I grew up in a very flat part of England, flatness to me is the default and I get genuinely excited by hills.

As someone who grew up somewhere super flat it really doesn't get to you because it's all you've ever known. However, now that I live somewhere with hills it drives me crazy when I visit home.

The border-free zone is called the Schengen area. There are still some EU member states that aren't included. Euronews article
"Austria has blocked the accession of Romania and Bulgaria into Schengen, the passport-free area that has abolished border checks between the vast majority of EU member states."
Even some non-EU places are part of Schengen. Notably Norway and Switzerland.

Why can't we have this with Canada and Mexico?
Because America is in-between
