Belgium
Belgium is a small country in Europe. It has recently celebrated its 175th anniversary of independence. One of the most famous cities that tourists like to visit is Bruges. It is quite famous because of the medieval architecture.The only thing about Bruges is that you have to stay a few days just to visit all the sites.
A few of these most famous things that have come from Belgium are waffles, brussel sprouts, and saxophones. There are quite a few more things that I found interesting about belgium and you can find them here.
Belgium has four neighboring countries, including the North Sea (to the northwest). In the northeast, there is the Netherlands, in the west/southwest is France, to the east is Germany, and to the southeast is Luxembourg. Belgium is about the size of Maryland. The population of Belgium is 10,364,388 as of 2005. There are flat rolling plains in the northwest, rolling hills in the center of the country, and the rugged mountains of the Ardenne forest in the southeast.
The Government of Belgium is a Constitutional Monarchy, with 10 provinces. The leader of the monarchy is King Albert II. and his son, Prince Philippe.
Belgium's economy is 74.2% services, 24.5% industry, and 1.3% agriculture. Belgium's agriculture products are sugar beets, fresh vegetables, fruit, grain, tobacco, beef, veal, pork, and meat. Their industries products are: engineering and metal products, motor vehicle assembly, transportation equipment, scientific instruments, processed food and beverages, chemicals, basic metals, textiles, glass, and petroleum.
