Can we stop pretending Belgium is even a country already? Only reason it exists is because the brits needed to weaken the dutch and the french, with their wonderful balance of power philosophy. Even "belgians" (i.e flemish and walloons) know their "nation" is nothing more than a joke. Of course we're through the post-modern looking glass and the very idea of "nation" is belittled by dumb hipster cunts and other useful idiots, so on that level sure, Belgium is totally a country, as much as any other western european "nation". Definition should totally be changed to the Douglas Adams Hitchhiker's version.
