比利時王國

位於歐洲的十字路口，國內南北語言不同，北半部大多說荷蘭語，南半部講法語，另外還有一小塊德語族群。COVID-19的復甦情況略好於整個歐盟，2021年GDP增長率達到6.3%。只是2022年遇到俄烏戰爭，增加了貿易和供應鏈的風險，通膨率一度高於9%。戰爭期間比利時接納了數萬名烏克蘭難民，目前正努力讓抵達比利時境內的烏克蘭難民融入社會。曾於19世紀殖民統治現在的剛果民主共和國，當時估計有兩千萬居民因極不人道的橡膠採集工作失去性命。2020年比利時國王公開向剛果民主的總統致歉；2022年比利時總理宣布歸還8萬多件剛果文物，比利時國王更是親自訪問剛果民主共和國，試圖開展兩國關係的新篇章。另外要特別留意，首都布魯塞爾是歐盟總部所在地。所以如果在新聞上看到「布魯塞爾當局表示……」，大部分時間都是在講歐盟喔。

Belgium is one of the founding members of the European Union. It sits at the crossroads of Europe, both from a geographical perspective and historical or cultural perspective. Dutch, usually referred to as Flemish, is predominantly spoken in the north and French in the south, in addition to a small German-speaking community. The three together are the official languages of Belgium. The state dropped neutrality after WWII and is now a member of NATO and the European Union. Its capital city, Brussels, is also home to the headquarters of these two organizations. Its level of modernization puts the country among the ranks of most developed countries in the world. The country has been in deep water in recent years due to its North-South divide. Insurmountable differences between political parties have prevented the formation of a coalition government multiple times. This currently ongoing situation has set a record at over 650 days, Belgium's longest period without a formal central government.
