1. B. is small; USA is very large
2. B. is a bilingual country (French and Flemish), but only has a few million people that speak Flemish. USA has about 40 million that speak Spanish, but insists on English only.
3. B. is densely populated and mostly urban; USA has some densely populated urban areas, but also lots of wilderness.
4. B. is relatively liberal; USA is relatively conservative.
5. B. has a cool, wet climate. USA is varied according to which part.
6. B. has a long history. USA is relatively young.
7. B. has little poverty due to welfare system. USA has a lot of poverty for such a rich country, in spite of some welfare.
8. B. tends to mind its own business. USA tries to police the world.
9. B. has a much lower crime rate than USA.
10. Both have growing immigrant populations, but Belgium probably hasn't lost track of as many illegals as USA has.
11. In B. people may or may not have religious beliefs, but you don't find as many fanatics as in USA. In B. they can see how religion and science don't have to be in conflict.
12. B's fries are eaten with mayonnaise (yummy), American fries usually with ketchup, cheese, chili, or whatever you want, baby!
13. B. has lots of trains, like metro NYC with LIRR, NJ Transit, Amtrak and Metro-North combined. You see more small cars and trucks, mopeds, and more bicycles in Flanders in the flatlands; then in hills and forests in the south the Walloons prefer cars more, so fewer bicycles. In USA there are all kinds of different landscapes, like Rocky mountains, deserts, canyons, redwood forests, Alaskan icecap, Hawaiian volcanic islands, Tropical South Florida, so many different ecosystems
And USA is so spread out that people can't rely on public transportation at all. People drive big cars, trucks, vans, as well as all kinds of cars in USA.
14. In Belgium if a young teen drinks some beer at a party it would be no big deal. In the USA it could be a lawsuit or considered a crime. B. also wouldn't make such a big deal out of porn, marijuana, and sex, but B. has lower teen pregnancy rates and lower abortion rates, easier access to birth control, even to teens.
15. In B. military service is required (with some exceptions); in USA its volunteer still, but sho knows how long that will last?
