what has Belgium ever contributed to world literature?

Are they even a real country?

They provided the setting for Heart of Darkness

King Leopold's Ghost?

Couldn't have been written without the non-country that is Belgium

Important locales in the actual fighting of both world wars, which consequently widely informed world literature, you idiot.

Poirot, for one, always proudly insisted upon his Belgitude..

It's literally impossible for (((Belgium))) to have contributed anything to world literature, other than a lesson in the efficacy of hoaxes.

Belgium is a meme country made up in the 19th century.

They chose the name because Caesar said the Belgae were the toughest of all the Gauls.

(You) know, after a few of his plays I picked up his wonderful book on honeybees and became interested in bees as a result. It's fantastic, and the two pop-sci books i've read since then (about bees in general) do what they can to rip him off, one to the point of plagiarism. Read his books on ants and termites as well. Great stuff. A fine writer in general.

Nations and countries are spooks. None of them have ever contributed any literature to the world.

Belgium is quite real. It's Delaware which is the legal fiction, you stupid idiot.
