Belgium for sale on EBAY

Wanna buy a country? How about Belgium? It's nice, has a great history, it's a bit cold, unable to form a government and perhaps about to partition. But it's cheap.

A Belgian teacher thought that selling the country was a good idea, so he put it up for auction on EBAY. There it stayed, until someone made a $10M bid - EBAY then pulled it out.
