Uden, Netherlands

With a population of just 42,291, Uden is a small town in the Netherlands that offers little to excite the average American relocating abroad. The once-prosperous town has lost much of its historical character, with the source text noting that "very little is left of the old town's character" due to rapid postwar development. And while Uden enjoyed a period of religious tolerance in the 17th and 18th centuries, the text suggests the town's bureaucracy has been a persistent headache, with the area only being incorporated into the Dutch republic in 1795. Those seeking a quaint Dutch experience would do better to look elsewhere - Uden is a forgettable regional center offering few draws for the average American expatriate.
