like from purely cultural point of view

yea maybe

🤷

like google Prague's historical centre and Moscow's

too much of a difference not to recognise it 🤷

also Italy and spain are southern europ imo

while french is west

I know they are butthurt about that

but I see them as southern too

I mean nothing really deregatory about that ffs it's geography 🤷

yeah France is quentessientially Western

honestly I may even consider netherlands as central

belgium would make a nice border country for the west/central distinction

but about the Central thing, it's complicated imo, I really don't like grouping western slavs with eastern slavs because of western christianity vs eastern chritianity, it's too sharp of a difference too me

but again

grouping Poland with Switzerland as Central?

we don't really have much in common

never

same with the Netherlands

hmmm

only Gdansk has some Dutch influences kek

but it doesnt matter

you could argue Poland and Czech has something in common with Germany even though its Slavs and Germanics

and with Austria perhaps

but surely not with Switzerland and what do you do with that 🤷

what about lichtenstein and luxenburg

Im ean what are those culturally

also estonia prolly has the coolest non-nordic flag

liechtenstein and luxembourg are totally western for me 🤷

uhh actually Estonia might be blue as well

I was wondering about that too

but surely not Lithuania

I'm not sure about Latvia

Estonia has extensive ties with the Nordics

but Lithuania is tied with Poland tbh

but again they're always grouped together as "Baltics"

and kind of rightly but I eel it's too small of a group to include as a separate in such classification

yea and the baltics are east

I see the orange like kind of a Western outpost idk

not properly Western but again doing this doesn't make sense for me https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7a/Europe_subregion_map_UN_geoscheme.svg/680px-Europe_subregion_map_UN_geoscheme.svg.png
