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).

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