The Fate of Belgium


This. Is. It. 2024 is here. The year Belgium had been fearing since the 2019 federal elections has finally begun. The question is, if Wallonia and Flanders go separate ways, will the breakup of Belgium be as peaceful as the breakup of Czechoslovakia? Or will it be as violent as the breakup of Yugoslavia? What will happen to a nation known for chocolates, waffles, Brussels sprouts, Tintin and Smurfs when it goes to the polls for what could potentially be the last time?

Update: Belgians voted, and Belgium did not break apart for now...
