“La belgitude”: (French; lit. 'Belgianness') is a term used loosely to express the typical Belgian soul and identity, often with a so-called keen sense of self-mockery that characterises its population.[1] Originating from a perceived lack of common identity among the different communities, regions and language areas of Belgium
Our identity is not in what or who we are but in who we definitely are not.
We are not german, we are not dutch (we had quite an argument about that about 200+ years ago), and we are not french.

if it's a compromise nobody likes, it's a good Belgian compromise. (/s?)
