	Belgium was one of the countries that got a piece of Tienstin after the boxer rebellion. So strictly speaking China should be added.

	Belgium did not hold sovereignty over Tientsin, nor was it a colony. The just had administrative control over the area as a concession territory from the Chinese.

	A small portion of Germany was given to Belgian administration after WWII, and was ultimately divided up between Belgium and West Germany in 1956, so Germany could be added as an answer (or bonus). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_changes_of_Germany#Belgium.

	Considering that this is a clone from Zeppelinoid's concept I figured you'd want to use the same criteria in which case you still need to add it. "The concept for this quiz and the others in the same series is that territories under the control of the relevant empire count. The Austria-Hungary concession in Tientsin was ruled by that country, not by China. It had a population over 30,000 and covered an area of over 250 acres. It lasted for 16 years. Similar concessions appear in respect of the other empires in this series, and invariably they appear in other lists of territories controlled by those empires"

	The Belgian province of Luxembourg used to be part of the Grand Duchy as well. Perhaps something to note.

	Surely over the course of history, parts of the Netherlands, France, and perhaps even Germany have shifted back and forth across the Belgian border? I mean, just look at the Baarle-Hertog jumble.

	Germany (1949-1956): The communities of Bildchen, Lichtenbusch, Losheim, Hemmeres, and Leykoul were occupied by Belgium during this period. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,824416-1,00.html The Netherlands (1830-1843): Small, uninhabited, Belgian borderlands, comprising parts of the communes of Koelegrient, Stevensweert, Lommel, Moll, Wortel, La Clinge, St. Gilles, Middleburg, and Assenede, are transferred to the Netherlands. http://books.google.com/books? id=XqSBAAAAIAAJ&pg=PR8&dq=treaty+maastricht+1842&hl=en&ei=h2mgTdjI H8LcgQfAwvDZBQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CDwQ6AE wBA#v=onepage&q=treaty%20maastricht%201842&f=false Sudan and Uganda (1908-1910): The Lado Enclave of Belgian Congo is ceded to the British, to be divided between what would become the Sudan and Uganda. http://www.zum.de/whkmla/region/centrafrica/belgcongo19081918.html Luxembourg (1830-1839): Luxembourg, including Luxembourg District but excluding the actual city itself, is occupied by Belgian until 1839. http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Luxembourg.htm ...That should help to make this quiz more substantial, in addition to China as others have suggested. I'll keep researching the French border and those of Belgian Congo's neighbors.
