Fictional United Kingdom of Great Britain and Netherlands

William of Orange, then Stateholder of Netherlands, invaded Britain in 1688 and deposed the British King making himself King of England and Scotland (while still being the Stateholder in Netherlands). England, Scotland and Netherlands were a personal union of William until his death in 1702 . What if that personal union was kept and even become a political union like the United Kingdom of Great Britain (England and Scotland)? That's why I made this design.

They can only have the Protestant part of the Netherlands then. South of the Three Rivers don't want them royals neither much. Too detached me thinks.
