利益集团
Due to Belgium's general lack of historical IG leaders and its 
Wealth Voting law, the starting interest groups 
in government can vary. Typically, the starting interest groups in government include two or three of the Intelligentsia, 
Landowners, 
Catholic Church, or the 
Petite Bourgeoisie; occasionally, the 
Armed Forces are in government also. The Intelligentsia and 
Industrialists are typically members of or want to join the 
Liberal Party; while the Catholic Church and Petite Bourgeoisie are almost always members of the 
Catholic Party; the Landowners and Armed Forces also often join the Catholic Party.
In opposition, the 
Rural Folk are nearly always in the 
Agrarian Party; the Industrialists are also typically in opposition, either as members of the Liberal Party or the 
Free Trade Party.
The 
Trade Unions are always 
marginalized and, occasionally, the Armed Forces are as well.
