Last update August 7th 2013


Belgium (French: Belgique, Dutch: België, German: Belgien) is a small country in Western Europe. Belgium is currently in its third era of existence, having been part of two different unions, one with the Icon-UK.png UK and one with the Icon-Netherlands.png Netherlands, called the Icon-United Netherlands.png United Netherlands. Belgium is a parliamentary democracy. It had maintained a neutral stance in the politics and wars surrounding it, until recently when it has declared it's support for the Circle of Trust (CoT) and is now a full member.

Icon history.png History

Main article: History of Belgium

Belgium was among the first countries in the beginning of eRepublik. Belgium's population grew slowly before they agreed to merge with the United Kingdom in April 2008. In February 2009, 10 months after Belgium merged with the United Kingdom, two resistance wars were launched to free Belgium, the first failed but the next succeeded. It wasn't until the 21st February 2009 before Belgium became a complete independent nation.

Government

The Belgium Parliament (Belgisch Parlement - parlement belge)

The following table lists the current members of the Belgian cabinet:

Name Position
JdlF President
MaryamQ Prime Minister
Tony Clifford Minister of Foreign Affairs
Kaad Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs
Programme Tvvince Minister of Defence
BelgiumGeneral Vice-Minister of Defence
ErnestHemingway Minister of Home Affairs
Trito Fishe Vice-Minister of Home Affairs
Trito Fishe Minister of Fun
ErnestHemingway Vice-Minister of Fun
SX80 Minister of Finance
El1teBE Minister of National Security
Zangetsu-osan Vice-Minister of National Security
Ekfant Minister of Education

A formal structure of the Belgian cabinet was specifically not included in the constitution when it was created. Although there have been several amendments proposed to include one, none have been successful to date, with few making it to a vote. The reason for this is to allow the president to structure his/her cabinet as they wish to maximize the efficiency of the government. As of yet, no two consecutive presidents have used the same cabinet structure.

An example of the advantages of this flexibility is Thore Thoreson's cabinet in July-August 2010 where the new position of Chief of Staff was created so that Medrolke could be a member of the cabinet without having to manage a ministry, which he wasn't able to do as he was serving in the US military at the time.
