The European Union: Quite Important

Tourist guy #1: So what countries make up the Netherlands?
Guide: The Netherlands are one country. It's also called Holland.
Tourist guy #1: Oh, yeah. Sorry. How about The Hague? Is that one of the countries in the Netherlands?
Guide: Ahhhhh.
Tourist guy #2: You're all confused! It's all about Benelux! That's Holland, The Hague, and The Lux. They're all sort of together in the EU.
Tourist #1: The EU?
Guide: ...and right over there is Roosevelt Island.
Tourist #1: Oh, I've heard of that! Is that in New York or Brooklyn?
