The modern country is known as Belgium, m' sieur. In period much of it was
known as Flanders (and still is). Walloon is the Flemish language (closely
related to Dutch) spoken in the nothern portion. They speak a French
dialect in the south. The modern country of Belgium was formed in the
early 19'th c. in the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars, IIRC.
