AI overview

Wallonia is the French-speaking region that covers the southern half of Belgium and makes up 55% of the country's territory, though it contains only about 31% of its population. It matters as one of Belgium's three main political divisions, with its own government responsible for regional affairs alongside the separate French Community of Belgium, which handles cultural and educational matters for both Wallonia and Brussels.

La Vallonia (in francese: Wallonie, in vallone: Walonreye, in olandese: Wallonië, in tedesco: Wallonien), o Regione vallona (in francese: Région wallonne, in vallone: Redjon walone, in olandese: Waalse Gewest, in tedesco: Wallonische Region), è una delle tre regioni del Belgio. All'interno del sistema federale belga, le competenze di tipo economico-territoriale (dall'economia al lavoro, dall'ecologia ai lavori pubblici, dall'agricoltura alla previdenza sociale) sono devolute agli organi politici delle regioni mentre quelle di tipo educativo-culturale sono gestite dalle Comunità linguistiche. Le regioni sono governate da un ministro-presidente, da un governo e da un parlamento regionale, e sono ulteriormente suddivise in province.
