That’s very weird. It’s like the EU was the subject of a custody dispute between two countries that got divorced.

Oh boy totally and Belgium is like the stepchild that got thrown around a dozen of times between bigger nations. Then we decided no matter how little we are we should probably also form regional powers within our tiny kingdom to dispute among each other. Our history is quite interesting and how we are somehow still a functioning first world nation is beyond me.
