For me it's easily Belgium. It used to be my home.

The Netherlands and anyone who didn't vote for the Netherlands can fight me irl. Belgium isn't even a country and Luxembourg is smaller than my parents' house.

If Netherlands had a better standby beer, it would almost be a clean sweep.

Can Belgium match the Dutch masters? Nope.

Luxembourg is a high external debt tax haven with a large financial industry. I prefer Switzerland to it if we're talking tax havens with cantonal government.
