Let's start with Belgium, a small but densely populated country in Western Europe. Belgium has a diverse landscape, ranging from the flat coastal plains in the north and west, to the rolling hills and valleys in the center, to the rugged Ardennes forest and mountains in the south and east. Belgium is divided into three regions: Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels-Capital. Flanders is the northern, Dutch-speaking part of the country, where most of the population and economic activity are concentrated. Wallonia is the southern, French-speaking part of the country, where the natural resources and industrial heritage are located. Brussels-Capital is the bilingual but majority French-speaking region that hosts the capital city and the main European institutions.
Belgium has a multicultural population of about 11.6 million people, with various origins and backgrounds. According to the latest statistics, about 58% of the population are Flemish, 31% are Walloon, and 11% are mixed or other. The foreign population of Belgium accounts for about 12% of the total population, with the largest groups coming from France, Italy, Morocco, Romania, and Poland. Belgium is also home to a small German-speaking community in the east of the country. The official languages of Belgium are Dutch, French, and German, but many people also speak English as a second or third language.
Belgium has a high quality of life, with a well-developed social welfare system, a high standard of living, a high level of education, and a rich cultural heritage. Belgium is known for its cuisine, especially its chocolate, waffles, fries, and beer. It is also famous for its art and architecture, especially its medieval cities and Gothic cathedrals. Belgium ranks among the top countries in the world in terms of human development index (HDI), happiness index (HPI), democracy index (DI), and press freedom index (PFI).
My comments
Have been several time in this country of course in part where they speak French, you see that you are welcome, in part where they speak flemish, you feel that you are no welcome (stupid reaction from them) even if they speak a little bit French. Never the less, it`s good country where we can enjoy beer in Bruges where now there is 3 km of beer pipe line under the town. i delight to drink Kwak beer in the funny glass, sometime you can make joke with it
