That doesn't make any sense though. You're European, that's an objective fact.

A lot of Belgians wouldn't consider themselves Belgian, but that doesn't change the fact that there's 'Belgium' on their identity card.

Are their really alot of Belgiums who dont consider themselves Belgium? Yes i realise that britian is indeed in Europe, however as myself and the majority of britian dont identify as European, i voted for ' a small island nation"! Im sorry if you find my stance difficult to understand. Yes technically im European. But if there another option on a poll that fits myself better i'll choose it ok? 

Well, maybe not now anymore, but 10 years ago the country almost imploded. Just for context, the country is split in 2 between the french-speaking Walloon and dutch-speaking Flemish, and Brussels is likewise split between the 2 (plus a small German-speaking community from territories given to Belgium after WW1).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007%E2%80%9311_Belgian_political_crisis It took over 500 days to form a government after 4 unsuccessful tries before the last one which ended the crisis, more than doubling the former record (249 days, Irak 2010)

Oh, and the inhabitants of Belgium are Belgians, not Belgiums ;p
