the hilarious thing about the Dutch spies is that, unlike serious countries who base their spies with an inspiring view of the capital (eg MI5), the Dutch AIVD is based in Zoetermeer, a depressing hellhole. it's full of decaying 70s buildings, has nothing to do, and is strategically equidistant from the nearby cities anyone would actually want to live in. To really inspire the spies and make them patriotically defend the fatherland or whatever they then stick them in this grey brutalist horrorshow of a building opposite the ring road and some big box stores; originally it was the education ministry but they decided it sucked in Zoetermeer, went back to The Hague and palmed off the building on the spooks. Oh and the spooks are not paid well either lol. It's a miracle there isn't a constant stream of Dutch double agents betraying their country that clearly doesn't value them in the slightest
