Sorry, I took you for a yankee.

The Ardennes surely are nice, and some of the small old towns in
Flanders are too.

But Belgium is not a true country. For each political party we know in
compareable countries it has 3: one for Flanders, one for Wallonia, and
one for Brussels. For each government agency (including prime-ministers
etc) it has up to 4: the three I mentioned, plus one for the country. 

Italy is in some way likewise. Nothern Italy has more in common with for
instance Germany than it has with southern Italy. I am just citing a
friend from the northern part.
