To be fair people have been living in the area that is currently Belgium a hell of a lot longer than the US has existed
And I actually looked up how big Belgium was compared to US states out of curiosity, and apparently it’s bigger than 7 states. Granted, they are all small east coast ones. Belgium is slightly (3k km^2) bigger than Massachusetts. It is only 0.3% the size of the entire US though, just goes to show the size disparity in US states.



True, there were, I think I was more thinking along the lines of like the current culture/society being there probably, because unfortunately very little of native culture is present in the modern day US
