Belgium was once an independent eReublik nation. However, as of April 13, 2008, soon after the start of the beta-version of the game, Belgium became part of the United Kingdom. Both countries agreed to merge and they did so (see Belgium-United Kingdom War). Belgium later regained its independence during the war between the UK and France, but lost it again on April 5, 2009 as its president agreed to a merger with the Netherlands to stop a potential Spanish takeover. While the Union is still official, the region of Flanders was liberated by the Romanian group The Group and the American Seal Team 6 against the countries will. The reborn country was quickly populated with Romanians.

History
Belgium - United Kingdom War
Belgium decided to merge with the United Kingdom as of April 13, 2008. Both countries agreed to merge and they did so (see Belgium-United Kingdom War).
Brussels Rebellion
Belgium was involved in the Resistance Wars in Brussels. The first resistance war was started by an outsider and as a result the resistance war failed. The second resistance war was sold to Michael Collins and this one succeeded. Belgium has regained its complete independence on the 21st of February.
Netherlands Union
During the congress election on 25th March, 2009, Spanish citizens who called themselves "Imperial Troopers" won a majority of the congressional seats, effecting a political takeover. In response to this, CreveRoeland, the president, decided to cede all Belgian territories to the Netherlands on 5th April 2009, forming a union and preventing a Spanish president from being elected.
Flanders Liberation
On October 22, 2009 a resistance war was started in the region of Flanders. The operation was carried out by the Romanian group, The Group, and the American Seal Team 6. Despite some minor tanking on both sides, the RW could not be stopped and the region was "liberated". Quickly Romanian and American citizens populated the lone region to PTO it and use it for their own purposes.
