Belgium, officially the Kingdom of Belgium, is a country in Western Europe. It is bordered by the Netherlands to the north, Germany to the east, Luxembourg to the southeast, France to the southwest, and the North Sea to the northwest. Its capital and largest city is Brussels.
Belgium occupies a central position between the Germanic and Romance-speaking regions of Europe. The country is divided into Dutch-speaking, French-speaking, and German-speaking communities, with major regional divisions between Flanders, Wallonia, and the Brussels-Capital Region. Its location between the Netherlands, France, Germany, and the North Sea has made it an important area for trade, administration, transport, and political coordination.
