1. Where on earth can you find Belgium anyway?
North of France, West of Germany, on the coast of the north sea/english channel. I believe adjacent to Holland, with a lower degree of certainty.
2. What is the official language of Belgium?
Flemish and French. Well, I think Belgium is a hyphinated country, technically?
3. What's the capital of Belgium?
Brussels
9. Name one bad thing about Belgium (this one should be easy, so go all out if you want )
The Belgian Congo.
11. Is weed legal in Belgium?
No
12. What side of the road do they drive on in Belgium?
Right.
13. Exactly what was the function of Belgium during WW 2 ?
Parts of Belgium where used as a way around the defensive line established by the French. By attacking over hilly terrain and using bombers rather than artillery, the german forces out flanked the french army.
Less certainly, I believe the English retreated off of Belgian soil during the first period of WWII. The fact that the British military got out before the Germans wiped them out has been cited as one of the (many) turning points of the war.
14. Belgium is at the core and the co-founder of what big organisation?
Nato.
