Ahem...that is not exactly true. The Government has not authorized spending, and some people will get furloughs if the "shutdown" goes on beyond this weekend.

But a government shutdown is always quite temporary, and is mostly a form of political theater.
The Belgians did just fine without a government for over five years. Mind you, they have a monarchy too.

They don't need one. The have the entire EU Govt based there. Thousands and thousands of diplomats on huge expense accounts. No need for any other economic activity or government. Plus, they nearly shot me so I'm not a fan. lol :)
