    If you attach the Netherlands to this, then it is in balance.

      In 1984, Frans Storbeck, computer scientist, geologist and research associate at the Gemeentelijke Universiteit van Amsterdam, calculated the center of gravity of the Netherlands on the computer. His calculations resulted in the kilometer coordinates 472.7 north and 171.8 east, which are in the area of the municipality of Putten.

      In 1984, a stone with a ring with the text "Lift the Netherlands on this ring and no one will notice" was placed at the site of the center of gravity. ;-)

        Unfortunately, the inscription on the marble slab is almost illegible.
