If you think Belgium is unlikely, what about a Celtic country with a Latin language and a Germanic name? Sounds preposterous, right? Still hundreds of millions of people firmly believe France is an actual country.

Plot twist: we're still stuck in the Roman-Empire era Europe and revolutionary America, because time is an illusion made up by the human mind.

The only reason you believe that is because of French machinations in order to make the Southern Netherlands less Dutch. You know, like how the Soviet government pumped the Baltic republics full of Russians in order to break those pesky regional identities. It wasn't very effective, but those countries still have significant Russian minorities which might provide a casus belli for dear leader Jeltsin in order to once and for all proof how inferior the decadent members of NATO, that vile club of warmongering imperialist aggressors, truly are.

You're really overestimating how much people care about the antics of the Dutch.

I mean we love Amsterdam. Amsterdam is great. And what a delta hub.

But what's a southern Netherlands.

And I've been to Belgium. God, the industrial revolution really did a number on that country! Hasn't anybody told the Belgian authorities that you should repurpose or demolish obsolete factories?

You may know it as the Spanish Netherlands or the Austrian Netherlands. It is also the place where the armies of Louis XIV clashed with Dutch and British troops, and clashed repeatedly.

Simple minds tend to find that a satisfying answer, yes. This is why simple minds should not be allowed to make decisions. It's for their own good.
