@Rabgein I am one of those Frisians. :P Funny you mentioned Frisians as the exception because I have to admit I frequently rage about the Pars pro Toto. But to be fair, I think it's not only a couple of Frisians who do that. Someone in Limburg or Gelderland probably does not identify themselves as Hollandic.
-
Technically only the western part of the Netherlands is Holland. In practice all Dutch call themselves 'Hollanders' nowadays, except maybe a couple of Frisians. It's quite different from the United Kingdom where parts like Scotland still have a very strong authentic culture and dialect. In the Netherlands you'll find that 90% of Dutchmen living in larger cities, although far outside the part that is actually called Holland, still speak with the Hollandish (standard) dialect.

I find myself trying to explain to people the same thing in regards to England, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom, among others. What is really ironic is when Americans don't get the articulation/distinction. After all, they live in a country which has political, historical, and regional "layers", if you will, and yet most can't articulate anything outside its borders.
-
The Netherlands has 12 provinces. Two of these, North- and South Holland, combined form the (nowadays only) geographical area Holland. Holland is a wrongly used pars pro toto (even the Dutch themselves use it wrong). This is because historically Holland had most of the political, military and cultural influence in the Netherlands.
In short: There are Dutch people from the Netherlands who are not from Holland ;-).
