Belgium
The country is divided by a language line which runs from east to west across the country just south of Brussels. To the north lies the prosperous Dutch-speaking region of Flanders, while to the south is the French-speaking region of Wallonia. The capital, Brussels, though mainly French-speaking, is officially bilingual.
