'''Belgium''' (French: '''Belgique''', Dutch: '''België''', German: '''Belgien''') is a small country in Western Europe.

'''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.

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.

It had maintained a neutral stance in the politics and wars surrounding it, until 13 October 2013 when it has declared its support for the Circle of Trust (CoT)and was a full member. Beginning of November 2013 Belgium left the alliance CoT just like most of it's members did and has since then taken a renewed a neutral stance for a while. It was also a member of P.L.U.T.O..

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.

Mittekemuis was named Queen of eBelgium on July 4, 2011 (Day 1322) by a congress majority[1] and shortly thereafter announced the royals and other nobles of eBelgium in an article Mittekemuis Announcement.

The Monarchy was reestablished in January 2014 and Critically was chosen by the eBelgian community as King and confirmed by congress First update. Critically was succeeded by MCKitkat.

Icon-pact.gif Alliances

Through it's history and mainly through the wars with France and United Kingdom, Belgium has signed Mutual Protection Pacts (MPPs) with countries, members of ONE, mainly to defend its regions. The Belgian Congress approved recently the Charter of CoT and Belgium became a full member of Circle of Trust alliance in 10/13/2012 [2].

Beginning of November 2013 Belgium left the alliance CoT just like most of it's members did and has since then taken a renewed neutral stance again. Since early 2014 the government decided to take a pro-Sirius stance.

On November 30th 2015 (Day 2932 of the New World) P.L.U.T.O. was founded by Icon-Belgium.png Belgium, Icon-Spain.png Spain and Icon-United Kingdom.png United Kingdom[3]. MCKitkat became it's first leader.

After the disolution of the P.L.U.T.O., Belgium once again took a neutral stance.
