Belgium is a constitutional monarchy in Western Europe, located between France, Germany, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The country has a population of 10.5 million people and its capital is Brussels.
One of the traditional seven continents, Europe is a favorite source of video game settings. In the real world, European countries have produced a host of notable developers and publishers, and compose a large gaming market.
France is a republic in Western Europe. Its capital city is Paris. It is also the origin of the baguette.
Germany is a country in Central Europe which borders eight countries and is one of the founding members of the European Union. Most World War II-themed games take place in a (mostly caricatured) Nazi-Germany (1939-1945), whether they are RTS or FPS. Frequently, Nazi villains are stereotypical Germans.
A region of northern France, Normandy was once a powerful fiefdom that conquered England in 1066. In video games, it most often serves as a backdrop for the massive Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France during World War II.
Russia is the largest country in the world. Formerly part of the Soviet Union, it is now a Federation with its President Vladimir Putin
The Netherlands is a modestly-sized country of 16 million. Famous for its cheese, tulips and pot-smoking... also prostitutes. But don't forget the museums.
Many games take place in the Middle East, but it is often in a fictional country or a country that is never mentioned by name. In some games, this is done in order to avoid political controversies, evident in many modern military games such as Metal Gear Solid 4. In many fantasy games, a generic Middle-Eastern setting is used.
