11. Damn didn’t know Brussels was our new province.

13. I went and did some Wikipedia diving, and found that apparently [Henao](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henao) is a relatively common “Spanish surname derived from the Spanish name for the Hainaut region”.

    There was also an English Queen [Philippa of Hainau(l)t](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippa_of_Hainault), daughter of the count of Hainaut.

14. Ostbelgien wouldnt be that bad, compared to most of these.
