I didn't realize Belgium and Netherlands were so densely populated.
The Netherlands have this special place called Westland also known as the Glass City. It's where they grow all of their tulips or whatever in greenhouses. The entire area is filled with back to back greenhouses that blast huge amounts of lights down to make the flowers and fruits and so forth grow all of the time. It's actually clearly visible from space, being super bright in an already very densely populated country.
We have street lights on every highway and almost every public road.
