While the seat of government for the Netherlands is in Den Haag, it is not, as most countries like London, England for example, the capital. That, would be Amsterdam and the oldest university, Leiden University is in Leiden. The principle of multiple locations effectively spreads power, knowledge and government throughout the country – resulting in no one place being more powerful than another. Creating an inherently collective responsibility and equal distribution within society. Even during medieval times those within and outside the royal walls respected each another’s laws and worked together. And now in the present, this too rings true, as mentioned earlier, regardless of whether you have wealth or not, flaunting it is socially unacceptable.
