The Kingdom of Belgium ( Dutch : Koninkrijk België ; French : Royaume de Belgique ; German : Königreich Belgien ) is a country in northwest Europe bordered by the Netherlands , Germany , Luxembourg and France . Belgium has a population of over ten million people in an area of thirty thousand square kilometres.

The capital, Brussels , is officially bilingual. An officially recognized minority of German speakers is present in the east. This linguistic diversity often leads to political conflict, and is reflected in Belgium's complex system of government and political history . |

Belgium is a small country located in Western Europe , bordered by the Netherlands , the Federal Republic of Germany , Luxembourg , France , and the North Sea . Belgium became independent from the Netherlands in 1830 and was occupied by Germany during World Wars I and II . It has prospered in the past half century as a modern, technologically advanced European state and member of NATO and the EU . Tensions between the Dutch -speaking Flemings of the north and the French -speaking Walloons of the south have led in recent years to constitutional amendments granting these regions formal recognition and autonomy. Belgium is now a federal state. |
