That's what they want you to believe...

Wake up, Kralizec. France and the Netherlands have been chosen as the epicentre of the global revolution. Our countries will see mass uprising and insurgency once a majority of our population has been convinced that Belgium really exists. In fact, the entire world will think that they have been taken for a ride by their leaders, that something is horribly wrong with their country if a place like Belgium can exist this side of heaven.

The insidous means of the 'Belgium exists' conspiracy are:
To make the Dutch believe that there is a place just like the Netherlands, but filled with a sense of humour, great food, and cultural refinement. To make the French believe that there is a place just like France, but filled with people without a perennial foul mood, with modesty as a national virtue, with - most devasting of all - gastronomy that equals France's in quality and surpasses it in quantity. (Hah! French food not served in stingy 'culturally refined' French-sized portions, but in divinely generous quantities? Tsk, as if...)

Better painters than the Dutch? More plentiful and more stunningly beautiful medieval towns than Italy? As wealthy as the Nordic countries? As lively as Latin Europe? More cultural and linguistic strife than the Balkans or Spain, but entire peaceful throughout its long history? An Industrial Revolution that dwarves the English one? Better comic books than France?

And all of this is supposed to exist in a country the size of a postage stamp? Get real, people. It's a hoax.
