Splitting up is hard to do
"?We are two different nations, an artificial state created as a buffer between big powers, and we have nothing in common except a king, chocolate and beer,? said Filip Dewinter, the leader of Vlaams Belang, or Flemish Bloc, the extreme-right, xenophobic Flemish party, in an interview. ?It?s ?bye-bye, Belgium? time.?" (NY Times)
Belgium doesn't have a government for the past 3 month and now the chorus for splitting up the country has grown louder. Do you have any suggestions for possible future two new countries out of Belgium ?

Nothing against the Belgians... What would we do without their chocolate!?
But an Economist article from a couple of weeks ago put it quite nicely: "If Belgium didn't exist, would anyone take the trouble to invent it?"
