    The last paragraph is very telling.

                      Belgium is just part of France, everyone knows that. It's the boring chocolatey bit nobody gives a fuck about. Serious Europeans use it as a filling up place for petrol when driving somewhere interesting, or at least I used to.

                              Belgium is a tiny country as it is, why would they want to break up?

                                  Anybody that has ever known anything about Belgium? The Flemish and French divide is never hidden.

                                  Honestly though, Belgium is one of my favourite places to visit in Europe. With the exception of Brussels (and I even like that city) their cities are stunning (Ghent is my favourite), the food is good and the people are super friendly. Something, you don't always get when you have an American accent in Europe but in both the French and Flemish areas of the country the people have been so friendly to me over the many times I have visited the country.

                                      This has been an ongoing debate for a very long time, that the rich part of Belgium doesn't really want to pay for the poor part and it's also tied to the Flemish and French speaking side, one of them is poor and one of them is rich.

                                      It's right on the border between the Germanic Europe and the latin Europe languages. Most of the political life circles around the representation of different people and their language herritage. A very complicated matter and even though voices are heard from time to time to split the country, it would then be two very small countries and it would probably just loose in importance on the Euro scene. For example they could loose the EU headoffice in Brussels which would be an enourmus loss of prestige.
