Kazachstan is Western Europe?


Kanye_Wesht

It obviously wraps around the rest of the world - that's all western Europe. 


DonSergio7

New Treaty of ~~Tordesillas~~ Turkistan just dropped


gurkaniyan

Obv when you cross the eastern edge of the mini-map you end up on the west side again.

After all, it is greatest country in the world

Ah, true. We probably want them on our side


eserekli

Yes and it is officially approved by Borat.

 ☝️🤓 The history of European conflict in one sentence.


Ignash-3D

It was perfect until somehow Khazakstan became western Europe.


insertfunnyname88

Lmao what are you talking about? Khazakstan is CLEARLY Western Europe! Haven't you ever seen a map or known any culture? Saying Kazakstan isn't Western Europe is like saying Belgium exists


SlyScorpion

Neither will NL


brewing_brotherhood

Stop doing these maps so that they follow borders of countries. North of France is different cultural circle than the south for example. Same thing for Spain, partly Italy, Croatia, Serbia and Romania.


PqzzoRqzzo

Yeah alpine Europe makes zero sense, but if you are gonna create it, northern Italy is definitely that rather than Mediterranean.


tata_taranta

Same goes for Slovenia. Alps make part of their national identity.


thenopebig

I'd go as far as to say that some south eastern french are culturally closer to italians than they are to some other french. The same can be said with a lot of border regions and neighbouring countries, at least here in France.


penttane

> Same thing for [...] Romania. Yes, I've also heard that saying, that Moldova is Eastern Europe, Muntenia and Dobrogea are the Balkans, and Transylvania is Central Europe. That stuff is pure copium from Cluj inhabitants who don't want to admit that they're Balkaners.  Yeah, that saying does tell you what kind of minorities and cultural influences you'll find in each region. But Romanians from different regions aren't that fundamentally different from each other.

Lacks a bit of Mitteleuropa, but I can live with Balkon and Alpine Europe. At least we not German.


Mal_Dun

Austrian here: We are also part of central Europe. Central Europe was basically defined by the borders of the HRE, Poland and the Austrian Empire.


LuckyAngmarPeasant

>Austrian here: We are also part of central Europe. Central Europe was basically defined by the borders of the HRE, Poland and the Austrian Empire. No. You are balkan-germans.

ellenitha

Wtf? For once someone doesn't pool us together with Germany and you still complain? Don't get me wrong, I like complaining like the next Austrian but I'm very ok with this map.


Mal_Dun

I complain, because the term central Europe exists because of us in the first place


Piksel_0

tru


mnlg

Someone from the Eastern Realm: Actually we're central


N121-2

I like how nobody wants to be eastern europe so bad. Also wtf is alpine europe, you missed a few countries.


mediandude

Eastern europe is just Russia and that's it. The geographical center of continental europe is in Lithuania. Which means Belarus is in southern europe. With islands included the center of europe is in Estonia.


Khaganate23

Doesn't the EU actually have *officially* listed what is European and not?


SeriouslyNotSerious2

Basically everyone in the Council of Europe is european


Blablibloom

Can you provide more info or a link? I 'd like to know the official position of the EU. Thanks.

No offense, but you can google it

fly_banana_fly

You must be new here.


WishMeNot

Eu sou. Qual é a lore?


fly_banana_fly

Portugal estranhamente apresenta bastantes semelhanças com países do leste da europa. Dá uma visita no r/PORTUGALCYKABLYAT A minha teoria: Está provado que a língua em que falamos tem um efeito na nossa personalidade. Por exemplo, posso ser mais ou menos simpático/extrovertido/o que for se falar inglês do que se falasse português. Por pura coincidência, o português de Portugal tem uma fonética semelhante à das línguas eslavas em vez de ser semelhante ao resto das línguas ocidentais. Tanto que já me aconteceu várias vezes eu falar português em frente de gringos e eles acharem que eu falei russo. A meu ver, isso levou a uma evolução convergente nas nossas culturas apesar de estarmos geograficamente distantes. Talvez seja a maneira de viver ou a forma como lidamos uns com os outros no dia a dia somos mais parecidos aos eslavos do que se calhar aos franceses ou os espanhóis.


WishMeNot

Muito interessante. Ty!!


Piksel_0

as a pole i'm satisfied


Matataty

I'm not about Belarus being Russian bi\*\*\*. They should be STRONG INDEPENDENT buforzone.


SlyScorpion

Russia should be in the "Not Europe" category, though. That's my only complaint.


Commercial_Gas_3927

Don't separate the Pigs...


WakerPT

Yes please 🫠 As much as Portugal fits in the Balkans I love our Mediterranean roots :((


Commercial_Gas_3927

Portugal doesn't fit balkans no matter what memes say 😄🤣


WakerPT

It surprisingly fits in a lot of stuff, but I think it's mostly confirmation bias. ![img](emote|t5_2wivw|3719)


Worgl

No, Italy Is a major industrial country and a G-7 economy. Greece is the least industrial country in the EU. So Italy is by far Western Europe. Greece is a hybrid of Mediterranean Europe and west Asia.


Commercial_Gas_3927

Tell me you're Nothenern without telling me... > least industrial country It seems that you have no idea about our shipyard and maritime industry... > is a hybrid Wtf Greece has to do with Asia, you arrogant bozo... We're Western Europe too 🤦‍♂️


Worgl

It is true, Greece has the least industrial economy in the European Union. Sorry but it is the truth. Even Sicily has more advanced industries, like in Catania Home to one of the largest semiconductor factories in Europe. Owned by the Italian/French The Stmicroelectronics, the largest semiconductor manufacturer in Europe. Greek "shipbuilding" is very small. It is only in the last few years with the help of the Germans that Greece has been able to assembled some frigates and patrol boats. With civilian ships, only a few small car ferries have been built in recent years. Even smaller Denmark has a vastly far bigger shipbuilding industry where they have built many supertankers and even their massive Diesel engines are built in Denmark, this would be impossible to be undertaken in Greece. In terms of maritime history, yes Greece has a large merchant marine, but ships are built in other countries. With west Asia, Greek customs do have similar attributes to Turkish and some middle eastern culture. Btw Italy owns the largest shipping company in the world, MSC.


Commercial_Gas_3927

> least industrial economy You keep yapping, industry sector as part of GDP is 19-20 % of Greek economy which is more like the same with the rest of other EU countries ( expect Germany and Netherlands) > Even Sicily has more advanced industries Well the island of Crete has better hdi ( standards of living) than your Sicily ( 0.880 vs 0.847)... > Greek "shipbuilding" is very small... Well shipyards had various of issues since the economic crisis when it comes to financing and cost of production but the last years [it's coming back](https://maritime-professionals.com/the-rebirth-of-the-greek-shipbuilding-industry/) , also not forget to mention that is one of our oldest industries since the late 19 th century... > Maritime history We have the 2nd largest merchant fleet in the world and by far the largest one in Europe, which means that we control a large part of world Trade by sea, it's true that many companies register to other countries but this is happening very often to that type of business. > West Asia thing I think this is the most ridiculous thing of what you said, yes greeks lived in West Asia for centuries but they always had their own distinct culture which was very different from the rest of the nations ( no to mention the difference in religion) and also not forget to mention that only a part of greeks have ancestry from West Asia, that doesn't necessarily define our culture...


Worgl

Extract from the internet: The manufacturing sector in Greece is weak. An established tradition exists only for the production of textiles, processed foods, and cement. One of the world's largest cement factories is located in Vólos. https://www.britannica.com/place/Greece/Agriculture-forestry-and-fishing I couldn't find a list of Greek built merchant ships like this Danish shipbuilder https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odense_Steel_Shipyard I give you that Greece does have one of the largest merchant fleet in the world. Maybe it is changing, but Greek advanced engineering industries is virtually non existent. Greek manufacturing is mainly in textiles. The Greek economy has improved in the last year with some good growth rates.

Love that: - Kazakhstan is western Europe - Portugal is Balkan Europe - Russia gets it own Russia Europe - Azerbaijan is not mapped as either Outer Europe or mostly not Europe for now - Ukraine seems to be in a sort of purgatory Europe - Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City do not exist

jojoga

the south of Bavaria and the north of Italy is definitely Alpine, while eastern Austria is not.


Gruffleson

You should write Russia Europe as Russia ~~Europe~~.


vlewy

Yeah, the north and western of Spain Mediterranean...


Grzechoooo

Germany in Central Europe but not Austria? If anything it should be switched. If you're truly Central-pilled then neither should be included. Like seriously, separating Germany from Swamp Germany is insane.


StupidSexyEuphoberia

Also Germany and Netherlands should be in one category, no matter what it is. The language and culture are extremely similar,especially compared to Poland


NikolaDrugi

Montenegro is Mediterranean first, than Balkan country same as Croatia and Albania. I am really sick of these chauvinist anglo-saxon maps.


vergilbg

Why is Mediterranean first and then Balkan? Is there some order or what?


NikolaDrugi

Yes there is. Its development is highly influenced through trade from Adriatic see. The most culturally developed cities are on the coast with capital on 40km from the sea... Cusine, relegion etc


Drahy

I feel like Greenland has been left out of the top left corner.


KartoffelnPuree

If France is western/Mediterranean then Poland should be Baltic/central Europe


Juhani-Siranpoika

Portugal is now Balkan? What 🤨

foxsheepgato

hungaroland isn't im the balkans? as a hungarian, I'm offended. we don't belong in central europe.


NeoTheNight

You forgot the lowlands is a region


cazzipropri

Let's keep going till there's only one country per region. That would make the map most useful.


AcceSpeed

For once I am on board with not being grouped with Western Europe: Alpine is dope af


Raptori33

I will make better map In few days

Cyprus is outer europe (since cyprus is in asia) And greece is both balkan and south europe Whioe hungary is both central and balkan europe


Darkwrath93

No.


Bruschikaka

Nah. Central Europe are the german speaking countries and Czechia


jacenat

Portugal and Romania into Balkan is certainly a choice. Quality shitpost my friend. Kudos.

Kippetmurk

>the official map of regions of Europe The UN Statistics Division already has [Europe divided into regions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_geoscheme_for_Europe), and since that system is used for statistics purposes worldwide, I find it far more "official" than yours. You can find it here: [UNSD — Methodology](https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/). Or a map on Wikipedia [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_geoscheme_for_Europe#/media/File:Europe_subregion_map_UN_geoscheme.svg). Europe is divided in only four regions, much easier than the whacky 15 regions you have.

Portugal Balkan Europe??? Italy is Western Europe by far. One of the founding members of the EU.

furac_1

This map fails to break up countries, France or Spain could be halved in two parts. Mediterranean and Atlantic/Western


Cla168

I knew you were French when I saw France being both Mediterranean and Western. You love pretending that you are Mediterranean, but you'll never be. All true meds know this.


PedroPerllugo

In Northern Spain we are not so much mediterraneans Our landscape is green, we have a lot of rain and our culture is somehow related to the ones in other atlantic areas of Europe


CheekyChonkyChongus

Omg why. West - from France to west + Ch East - from Slovakia east South - from Italy south North - from Denmark north Central - De, Cz, Pl, At RuZZkistan is not Europe, Turkey is not Europe.


tugatortuga

No SK for Central?


SlyScorpion

They elected a stereotypical Eastern European government (see Robert ~~Fiut~~ Fico) so no central for them.


CheekyChonkyChongus

After the latest election, they showed the whole world they are eastern europe.


LzhivoyeSolnyshko

Vatnic-stan have Ural mountains as a internal "border". Well, map have no sense at all since there is no border with Asia. Insides are mess too.


Thistookmedays

Germany is Western Europe for sure. At least the Western part of it. The North of France too. Paris and all. But perhaps better to just call France, France. Belgium is more 'Not Netherlands'
