[Floppedd]

Wow a country that small has the economy of litearly half of all africa 💀

[tyrannus]

There is a small region in Belgium where people speak german

[Countrytournament]

It’s funny to hear a English speaking person pronounce the Dutch cities (I’m Dutch)

[bassistomaster]

Heum, technically you can also include a small portion of German speaking area in Belgium

[pilipili]

The Netherlands have one thing that Belgium can't have: A government

[maritje]

Left out one thing that the Dutch have that the Belgians don’t... GOOD ROADS

(I’ve lived in Belgium for a while as a kid and we could always tell that we’d crossed the border because the roads got noticeably bumpier 😂)

[mibouma]

Don’t forget about our second official language Frisian, which is also spoken in the north of the Netherlands and created various dialects throughout the whole country

[daepicbananaman]

Wow! I actually live in the 69th most populated country! Awesome!

[malook]

Ah yes, southern Netherlands and northern France

[terriblejokefactory]

Denmark: *placed as the 130th largest country in the world*
*sad Greenland noices*

[ivy_angels]

"the only language being spoken in the Netherlands is Dutch" nah mate you've angered the frysians not too mention all the unintelligible accents you got from just moving one town over

[donroxas]

And we speak German in a really little part of Belgium, don't forget it

[subzero.cuber]

Netherlands. They have one thing Belgium doesn't have. A reason to exist.

Edit: its a joke! Stop commenting reasons or hating

[TokiDaCat]

These types of channel's with these kinds of content are the ones i appreciate, Unlike those other channels who spam the same video over and over again

Fun fact: The meaning of Wallonian comes from Proto-Germanic "Walhaz" meaning foreigner. It was name given to them by the Germanic people to the Romanized people in Gallia Belgica who adopted the Vulgar Latin.

And another funny thing is that Romanians who also speak a Romance language were called Vlachs meaning also foreigner but it was mostly referred to the Latin speaker but soon after it took the meaning of Shepherd. It was borrowed by the Proto-Slavs from the Goths that spoke a Proto-Germanic language. A common thing between Romanians and Wallonians is that Wallonians calls the South and Southeast of Walloonia *Ardennes meaning Highland the exact way the Romanians calls Transylvania *Ardeal which probably means also Highland as Transylvania is a plateau. 🇷🇴❤🇧🇪

To me there was only one factor for comparison that mattered: I am an Austrian studying full time in Belgium. I started my studies in the first full year of covid. And let me tell you, Belgium is such an understanding and lenient country, where the government doesn't try to make your life hell. The measures were so relaxed in comparison to my home country, where my friends and family couldnt even go out without an ffp2 mask. Everything was closed whereas in Antwerp we even had cafes and restaurants open with tables and heaters outside, for those who are not vaccinated. No one was shamed for any choice they made. I had such a great and fun time while Austria and Germany were in complete depri-mode.
Edit: Dank je wel, België!
Merci à toi, la Belgique!
Danke dir, liebes Belgien!

[RapinatorOhYeah]

You should say *”16, 160 square mile, So Far”* with the netherlands

[zipOliver]

The Netherlands are small yet their gdp is way bigger.
Edit: hey that's pretty good😏
