In 6 AHC (After Human Colonisation) the first steps were taken to form Belgica. The Duchess of Limburg married the King of Flandria and doing so she merged Limburg with Flandria. two years later the marriage ended and Limburg unified with Wallonia through marriage. Soon after Flandria declared war against the newly expanded Wallonia. Because marriage of the marriage of two women Flandria gained support of Ollania and Frisia. Later, after the Duchess of Brabant reveiled her marriage with a woman, most parts of Brabant (Brabantia backed Flandria) joined Wallonia. After a ten year during war, Belgica was formed.
