Belgium “Waffles”

A Discover-Europe Series Achievement

I could have picked a better title for this series, but it stuck like syrup on waffles.

Belgium, officially the Kingdom of Belgium, is a country in Northwestern Europe. The country is bordered by the Netherlands to the north, Germany to the east, Luxembourg to the southeast, France to the southwest, and the North Sea to the northwest. It covers an area of 11,787 sq mi and has a population of more than 11.5 million, making it the 22nd most densely populated country in the world and the 6th most densely populated country in Europe.

Belgium is part of an area known as the Low Countries, historically a somewhat larger region than the Benelux group of states, as it also included parts of northern France. Brussels is the capital and largest city; other major cities are Antwerp, Ghent, Charleroi, Liège, Bruges, Namur, and Leuven.

Since the Middle Ages, Belgium’s central location near several major rivers has meant that the area has been relatively prosperous, and connected commercially and politically to its larger neighbors. The country as it exists today was established following the 1830 Belgian Revolution when it seceded from the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, which had incorporated the Southern Netherlands.
