I guess the Dutch are, but they were in history ruled by their own people. We were ruled by foreigners and our economy was in shambles for the longest period of (early) modern history. The Belgae were just a collective of Celtic and Germano-Celtic tribes we know little about, the name is Celtic in origin.
In Latin the Netherlands also were called Belgia, by the way. It's just an alternative name.
