With some weird stuff like water management (waterschap) being it’s own electable agency outside of the typical political system.

The Sea has been shaping NL and it’s society for ages. Keeping it at bay (which is one of the tasks of waterschap I guess) is a life-or-death task.

It has a very low electoral threshold, so new parties can come (and go) quite fast.

Very interesting factoid! We should know more about such things in all countries.
