oh dear,
Saying such a thing in Nederland places you just slightly above the American tourist who says Amsterdam is the Capital city of Copenhagen....
As you could have seen on Google Earth the Afsluitdijk is not a boundary of a polder.
It divides the former Zuiderzee into the IJsselmeer and the Waddenzee.
This eliminated the need to maintain a lot of Sea dykes which need to be higher than river and lake dykes.
