soc.culture.belgium
Belgium: Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels.
A trilingual group (Dutch, French, English) for a country whose central topic — the Flemish/Walloon settlement — supplied it with inexhaustible material. Beer, comics (bande dessinée), and cycling provided the peace treaties between rounds.
It coordinated loosely with be.* hierarchy groups; soc.culture.belgium was where the international audience met the domestic one.
