While Flanders is located in Belgium, it's important to note that:
* Flanders and Wallonia make up Belgium. Flanders is the northern part, and Wallonia is the southern part.
* Flanders is a distinct cultural and linguistic region. Flemish people speak Dutch (or "Flemish", which is a dialect of Dutch).
* There is also a small Flemish community in the Netherlands. This is due to historical reasons, as the Dutch language and Flemish culture have a shared history.
