Belgium
Belgium is a small country. Its surface is only 11,730 square miles (30,518 square kilometres) with a population of10.2 million. Belgium has been a constitutional monarchy since 1830. English is widely spoken but there are three languages Dutch, French and German.
There are three regions (Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia) which have self-government in many areas. Many people will have heard of Wallonia but few of them know where exactly it is. Just like the regions of Transylvania or Bohemia, Wallonia is often believed to have been lost in the past. Wallonia is the southern French-speaking half part of Belgium, in contrast to Flanders in the north where they speak Flemish. Belgium has 4 distinct linguistic areas - Flanders, Wallonia, the two German speaking cantons between Wallonia and Germany, and the officially bilingual area including the capital city of Brussels.more
