This civilization is largest on the 200x400 Global map. They do get more land on the Africa map but not all of their territory will be covered with city locations. Going by present day settlement, the African region has the most possible city locations for the Belgian civilization even though Belgium proper is not on the actual map. So once it's 1962 it's game over for the Belgian player if your on an Africa scenario. On global or Europe based you can continue playing as the Belgians. They only get one city for Belgium Proper, which is Brussels. There's one colony but it's an extremely large colony called Belgian Congo, formerly Zaire (1970-1997), now Democratic Republic of the Congo. Although the capital city cannot be built because it's a border town and that messes up the map boundaries
