On the contrary, you DO need to know which country you are in because of for instance a crime has been committed, it determines which country’s laws apply and which police department (they have two, a Belgian and a Dutch one) is responsible.

Also, they need to know which country each house is in because that’s who gets to collect their taxes. Not sure what they do with the one house that has both Dutch and Belgian front doors however, perhaps they get to pay taxes twice for that privilege?
