Belgian Waffles

With conquest and discovery no longer viable means of acquiring sovereign territory, what about voluntary transactions? If the latter, who must give their approval— the governments or the governed? [More]

And if that fails...

One thing's for sure-- atoning for Belgian crimes against humanity won't be solved by ceding sovereignty to Brussels.
