On the side issue of the Euro - when membership of the EU is granted its now conditional on that country becoming a member of the Euro WHEN QUALIFIED TO DO SO. I'm not 100% sure but I think there is a waiting list anyway for EU membership anyway - Turkey is on that list.

If the Belgium splits the population may become even more boring. If you don't know the background to that its a list of the world's thinnest books from the seventies : Italian war heroes, Interesting Belgians, etc etc.
