Belgium’s diversity in culture and language has been the basis of conflicts and its complex system of government.

The French-speaking South and small German enclave are mostly agricultural. Overall, Belgians are among the highest earnerst worldwide. Media Belgian media hold the unique distinction of being at the center of power in the European Union. There is also a high degree of consolidation with only around 20 newspapers and a handful of television stations – which means that each outlet is significant. Radio fragmentation is more on a par with European standards, and Internet use is at over 70%. All these factors make the extra effort of a bilingual PR and social networking effort worthwhile.
