Belgium is the small country of Brussels, waffles, and fine chocolate. Live in Belgium, from Belgium, the coast of Belgium.
It is split by language — Dutch in Flanders, French in Wallonia, a small German-speaking area — and the arrangement of government around that split is famously complicated, once leaving the country without a full one for well over a year. Brussels hosts the main institutions of the European Union.
