It may sound funny but it´s not, considering the many real property laws & options:
Do people in the Netherlands own their houses and the soil where they are built ? is buying a house / land affordable for the average guys ?
It depends on the region/area as for the prices but in general you buy a house + land.
Unless you buy an appartment in a city.
Depending on the place a leasehold estate is also possible. The land is then often the property of the municipality.
Lol you are right, had not noticed that.

Great, now you can be fined, and pay for the privilege too.
Is there an officially ID card for citizens ?
All persons, aged 14 and over, are required to be able to identify themselves when asked to do so by the authorities.
The following are valid identity documents in the Netherlands:
- a Dutch passport or a passport or identity card of a country belonging to the EU or the EEA. Passports of all other countries must contain a valid residence sticker;
- a Dutch identity card (formerly known as a European identity card);
- a refugee travel document issued by the Dutch authorities;
- an alien’s travel document issued by the Dutch authorities
- a residence permit or leave to remain card (W-document);
- a driving licence (in some cases).
What you use for identification is up to the individual.

Seems legitIf you receive a fine from the police for failing to show proof of identity, you will not be entitled to file an objection.
Out of interest, would my driving license suffice in NL?
Why not stay a part of Spain?
Seems legitIf you think the law does not apply to you, a judge can decide on that for you (protip: fine + trial cost = more expensive).....If you fail to pay the fine, the public prosecutor will decide whether to prosecute you. You may be prosecuted within two years of the date of the offence.
Obviously not paying is more epxensive, but I thought it was odd that you're not entitled to object/appeal the fine at all
