'''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.
