Despite all the internal tensions, Belgium has managed to cohere as a polity for a good couple of centuries now.
Denmark is quite similar, with two (three including the Frisians) linguistic groups and a long history as a polity (even if Denmark and Holstein were technically separate).
Could Denmark have weathered through the 19th century as a unified polity and become a Belgium-like multilingual political entity?
