The Kingdom of Belgium is a small country nestled between the Netherlands and France.
Belgium is slightly larger than the state of Maryland, and very flat. Its highest point is at an altitude of only 2,275 feet. The climate is mild and slightly damp, great for biking. Participation in sports is very popular, particularly soccer and cycling. People frequently spend time together as a family, on picnics or at the movies. Most families take a one-month vacation each year. The beach is a favorite spot, since Belgium is on the coast of the English Channel.
Belgium has been a nation since 1830 when it gained independence from the Netherlands. It is a constitutional monarchy, with a parliament and a prime minister, similar to that of England. It has one of the strongest economies in the world, being the world’s third largest producer of wool and cigars. Belgian steel is the number one export, and the commodity that produces a high gross national product.
The Belgians have strong regional ties. Flemish (Dutch) culture predominates in the northern part of Belgium, and a French culture predominates in the south. The French-speaking Belgians who live in the south are known as Walloons, and that part of the country is known as Wallonia. The Dutch-speaking Flemings live in the north, which is known as Flanders. People are very cordial and shake hands in greeting. Close friends usually kiss one another on the cheek.
Belgians are very proud of their rich cultural heritage, particularly in painting and architecture. Belgium is traditionally a Roman Catholic country, where people have strong opinions about religion. The family is close knit and important to Belgians. To be welcomed into a family circle is an honor.
