&gt; &gt; Flevoland consists of (a.o.) two polders with that name: East and<br/>
&gt; &gt; South Flevoland. Hence the confusion, perhaps. The other parts are<br/>
&gt; &gt; the Noordoostpolder (North East Polder) and the islands Urk and<br/>
&gt; &gt; Schokland.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Which islands, I see, are both now within NOP.<br/>

remained a municipality of it&#39;s own. This is because Urk always was a <br/>
densely populated island, and Schokland was already abandoned by the <br/>
population when it was included in NOP.<br/>
