Actually, Fox got it right. Holland is the name of the region of the Netherlands that is highlighted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland (and no, I didn't just go and write that article, look at the article's history) The reason the word "Holland" came to mean all of the Netherlands in English was because during the era of Netherlander's ocean trade domination during the early 1600s, the Holland region of the country was the most prosperous region by far and many people assumed that Holland was the name of the country. (it was also much easier for English speaking people to pronounce than the actual name) This is kind of similar to many people in the East Indies thinking that Salem (Massachusetts) was a huge and powerful country and that the United States was a smaller nation located near Salem.
