How can someone become commander of the ISS when he is from a country that does not exist?!?

The official title of the Albert II is indeed "Koning der Belgen, Roi des Belges."
But his name is still Albert Felix Humbert Theodoor Christiaan Eugène Marie van België.
The Belgian royal family changed their last name from "von Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha" to "van België, de Belgique" after the first world war, much like the British royals did (they changed "von Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha" to "Windsor").

Actually, it would be: "Voorwaarts!" The use of a 't' or a 'd' is quite an issue in Dutch.
In his dialect, Frank would say something like "Noar voor!" (Frank is from Ledeberg, so he speaks the Ghent dialect).

Even I had a Cobol course. And I have an applied economics master. What sense does that make?

I'm 29, in elementary school we had a subject that was called "schoonschrift" (translates roughly as "beautiful handwriting"). It was tough, 4 years in a row, we had to fill copy-book after copy-book and had to copy chalk board after chalk board. Later on, our homework was always in handwriting, all our papers had to be in handwriting. Teachers just wouldn't accept typed out homework. Even in university, almost none of my co-students used a laptop to take notes. I loved it and I still love it. I experience my handwriting as an extension of my personality now. As much as I work with computers, I still prefer to write texts in a copy-book over typing them on my laptop. Young children in Belgium still have to go through the whole "schoonschrift" thing. Even though there are computers in every classroom in Belgium, and they have computer lessons in elementary school now.

You are clearly not European. There have been many antitrust suits in the past by the European commission against European companies. The problem is that building up a case costs a lot of time. The recent antitrust suit against Microsoft was started in 1998, with a first ruling in 2003. Just to give you some kind of perspective.

Two words: Opus Dei

The "status of religion" may be a strange concept for Americans, but it isn't in France (or most of western, non-Anglo-Saxon Europe). In France (and most western European countries) every religion that is recognized as a religion by the state, gets an allowance to pay for infrastructure and priest wages. This system was created under Napoleon after the abolishment of all church administered taxes during the French revolution. The allowance paid to recognized religions comes from the taxes paid by every citizen. In Belgium, for example, the following religions are recognized and get a state allowance: Roman-Catholicism, Islam, Judaism, Christian-Orthodox (Russian), some reformed and some protestant Christian churches. Some pluralist and liberal organizations also get a state allowance. In Belgium, this system has created an opportunity for the Belgian Federal state to demand a the creation of consultative committee for each recognized religion. Next to this system of recognized religions, a special investigative committee of the Belgian Federal parliament composed a list of sects and organizations dangerous to society and the individual. And yes, the CoS is on the list.
