Comparison With "Flanders"
A confusion sometimes arises from the term "Flanders" which can refer to two different political institutions and concepts, being the Flemish Region and the Flemish Community. "Flanders", though not named in the Belgian constitution either, is more widely used in official publications, because the Region has merged its institutions with the Community – whereas the Walloon Region and the French Community of Belgium remain separate.
