In the scale of dangerousness - I mean real dangerousness I place them last. The reasons are plain. In that country the world the old world - is turned topsy-turvy: the people govern their rulers.

As to the King of the Netherlands, it will be time enough for him to think of making conquests or forcing trade in Spanish America when the one half of his subjects with him at their head or against them has succeeded in conquering the other.
