In both countries, there could be tension and conflict between different ethnic groups. In Belgium, the majority community of Dutch-speaking people could try to dominate the French and German-speaking people. This could lead to conflict — specially in Brussels. Brussels could have been partitioned as the ratio of the Dutch and the French was different from the rest of the country.
In Sri Lanka, the Sinhalese people, already in majority, could try further to dominate the Tamil-speaking people. It could even lead to a war.
Thus, size and population do not matter. Ethnic divisions, if not handled with patience and common sense, can lead to a civil war, division of the country and conflict between communities.
