A survey, if you will

Alright, what I want to know is that do any of you know what/where "Hague" is and why is it important? Remember this is without the help of Google, Wikipedia, or any other means of information gathering. No need to post what it actually is, we can all use Google, more of a yes/no and where you picked up such knowledge. I am curious out of the sample size of the population a.k.a. the handful of people that read my blog who knows this stuff. Because I sure didn't and was quickly reprimanded for not knowing such basic information. I am so ignorant, apparently.
