For myself , I don't have an exact opinion about it . I just think we're one country , and we have to slove our problems as one country . Because maybe in the future we will need the help of Wallonie
I definitely don't want Belgium to be seperated , and I don't want a republic either .

I think you say well, what I was also asking above, that is, is there an identity of being a "Belgian" as opposed to being a Fleming or a Walloon? And if people identify themselves as "Belgian" then is it stronger among the younger or older generation or not really?
Certainly your country is not alone in this. There are factions in the United States as well and with graphics on television, the media is making us (for better or for worse) aware of which states contribute more financially to our country than others. Perhaps the difference is that from the beginning we have identified ourselves as one country and so we still tend to think we just each need to do our part and those with more resources need to contribute for the greater good of the country. As resources - not just financial, but water, land, etc. begin to dwindle, which is happening in small ways now, we may see more divisiveness.
