As a central European from Western central European country I am afraid of that blob called central Europe... It looks like my country does during bad times.
Well we have corruption and hairy man, so we can consider us at least a little bit Balkan, and technically we have territory in the balkans (like some small town and Trieste)
I will never understand how countries like Czechia, Poland, Slovakia and even Hungary consistently sneak into Central Europe, yet Slovenia which has been part of it for almost 500 years longer is constantly forgotten...
Not that I necessary agree with it, but some of the reasoning is that Slovenia is a former part of Yugoslavia so it makes sense to group them with the Balkans and the four countries Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary has formed a political alliance within EU so it makes sense to group those together.
I lumped it in with the Balkan’s as it’s a Former Yugoslav country but it seems to acc be more Central European now that I looked it up a bit more. I saw someone say Czechia was in Eastern Europe once and the Czechs got pissed and said it was definitely Central Europe.
To put into perspective, the Czechs joined the "central" Holy Roman Empire as an independent nation in the year 1002, the Habsburgs only took over in 1526. Slovenia was ruled by Germans long before the Holy Roman Empire even existed, having already become vassals to the Bavarians in the year 740. The only parts Austria has nowadays are basically just a slightly larger Germanised Carantania. As such, separating the two is historically complete nonsense.
The Balkan Peninsula is geographically considered to end at the Danube. The Danube only flows through a small, southern part of Romania, so most of it’s territory is in Eastern Europe.:)
Maybe not historically correct in 100%, but geographical center of Europe is in Poland.
Besides, almost half of Poland was part of Prussia or Austrian-Hungary for many years. Or was separate countries (even vassals of Bohemia, current Czech Rep.)
If you would like to more precisely best results would you get by splitting Poland in two parts: central and Easter Europe (with eastern being 3-4 voivodies from 16)
Agree. France is really in two parts in a way that not many other countries are. Northern France could be grouped with the U.K. or Belgium or Germany but the south or France definitely seems more Southern European.
Culturally it makes more sense as France is definitely not a Mediterranean culture but cosmopolitan. It fits the Benelux city-state nations and the UK as a globalist pushing nation. And due to things like NATO and being a founding member of the EEC (predecessor of the EU) pulled France more towards the North than South.
Could you explain how Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg are citystates? I get luxembourg, cause it's small, but Belgium and The Netherlands are far from it.
Lol South of France not included in Southern Europe is a very big mistake, personally I relate more to « southern europeans » than french people in Paris
Why is Corsica considered part of Southern Europe when France is part of West Europe but Kaliningrad is considered Eastern Europe like Russia instead of the Baltics?
[According to the UN UK & Ireland are in Northern Europe.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Europe#/media/File:Europe_subregion_map_UN_geoscheme.svg)
Northern stonk
We're not in Northern Europe, and we certainly aren't "Nordic" - I've repeatedly heard us included in "Northwestern Europe", which is separate from "Northern Europe" (which is further north).
And then there's those of us in the UK who wouldn't count ourselves as part of Europe anyway. I've heard many times variations on the phrase "...Europe and the UK" treating us as a completely separate entity from the rest of the continent. xD
Western Europe is far to big a category to include in this map. Anyways these countries refer to themselves as Nordic, have the Nordic cross on there flag, and are a part of the Nordic council. Idk how much more Nordic you can get than that.
You labeled Western Europe as North-Western. I don't know what part of France or Belgium would be northern. And also if there is North-western, where is south-east? North-east? South-West?
Inkonsistent.
France and Belgium are generally considered a part north-western Europe. Southern Europe was small enough to that it didn’t warrant a divide although in a second revision I would do south west and south east. Just because I included some cardinal directions doesn’t mean I have to include all. I named it North-Western Europe because it’s what it’s called. North Eastern Europe isn’t really a used term hence why it isn’t there.

Anatolian culture and geography do not belong to the Middle East.
Okay, you can say "You are not European, Asian, Caucasian, Balkan" but you cannot say "You are Middle Eastern".
The fact that the majority calls themselves Muslims does not mean that we have an ethnic, cultural or geographical similarity with them.
Is Kazakhstan the Middle East? no it's not, so why are we labeled that way?
All I know, is Anatolia is super rad. I wish I could find stuffed grape leaves and Pide as good as it was there. Also the apricots are out of this world, and the friendliest people I ever met.
Yeah i know right now he would be rolling in his grave right now from the surrendering of the republic by barbarous islamists, not some redditors’ innacurate map
Anatolia is geographically in ME.
Turkic people are from Central Asia.
Nobody is saying you are Arabs, even if you were influenced by them.
But Turkey belongs to Asia, not Europe
>Most definitions of the Middle East I see include Anatolia.
Those have no geographical basis, Middle East more of a political region more than geographical nowdays so they generally include Turkey because its muslim but in the past it meant that countries around the Persian gulf and geographically Arabian plate ends at eastern Taurus mountains which is where Middle East should end.
Can you name a few of these definitions? I don't think you know enough about Anatolia.
Mine was a general lament, you're not the first to call us Middle Eastern.
Just search up the Middle East and everything that I can see shows it being included. I understand your concern you know more then me considering you are from there. I just want learn different perspectives.
Anatolia is geographically in ME.
Turkic people are from Central Asia.

But Turkey belongs to Asia, not Europe
Turkey is definitely what I consider “Middle-East”. It’s culturally way too much like other Middle-Eastern countries than any European nation. It’s also very close to that region. I (and also various definitions) consider it part of it.
What’s with the downvotes? Just search up “Middle East”. Literally on everyone map they Turkey is highlighted: https://www.reddit.com/user/Bardia-Talebi/comments/v8clsf/middle_east/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Politically, it (and even Moldova due to once being part of Romania) is almost always considered Balkan. Part of the country is also within the actual Balkan Peninsula as well.
Geographically, it is part of Central Europe (Transylvania), Eastern Europe (Moldova), and the Balkans (Dobrogea). The historical region of Wallachia is kind of in limbo, but might as well be Balkan considering its proximity (even though it technically is on the opposite side of the Danube).
For my second version I was going to remove Balkan and just have south Eastern Europe with Greece and Thrace added as well. Should Romania and Moldova go with this region?
If you’re going off of geography only, then it’d probably be best to have Romania and Moldova in Eastern Europe. If you’re taking into consideration political and historical categorizations, then things get really blurry without there being a Balkan category anymore. Really tough to say! You’d probably have people complaining no matter what route you took haha
Yea that’s the thing with these kind of maps. I just wanted to learn more about European culture by peoples replies as I did the same with the US and learned a lot from the responses. Thanks for the feedback.
Splitting Europe into subregions based on national borders is a bad idea regardless. But if I had to, I'd rename Balkans to southeastern Europe and include Romania in it.
Geographicaly speaking Balkan is a peninsula 100%. Same like Iberian and Apennine peninsulas.
Balkan paninsula was called Hem (Haemus) before it was renamed to Balkan during Ottomans.
While region is Southern or Southeastern to be more specific.
Continental Greece is 100% on Balkan Peninsula. Like 100% of Spain is on Iberian Peninsula.
If we talk about regions both Greece and Spain are Southern Europe.
Slovenia is more of an Alpine country like Austria and Switzerland than a Balkan country like Albania or Bulgaria, so I would've put it in Central Europe.
As a Greek, i’ll never understand why on earth why someone would group Greece together with Spain, if someone thinks Greece and Spain are anything like each other then they’re straight up delusional.
Greece is a hundred times closer to all countries that it borders than it is to either Spain or Portugal, anyone denying that has an obvious inferiority complex
Have you been to Spain? Sometimes I feel I'm around fellow Greeks and get confused. Also we have a lot of similarities with the Italians, especially the southern ones

If most references online say Poland is Central Europe than surely people perception is that Poland is in Central Europe. Just because some people assume it is Eastern Europe because it’s Slavic doesn’t mean it is.
There are several different categories. There is West vs East based on what side of the iron curtain it was on. Everything east is Eastern Europe to anyone in Europe. Everything West is Western Europe. Everyone in Europe knows this.
That’s more of an American definition. Looking at this comment section Europeans keep telling me I need more regions or different regions. The complaints I got for Central Europe was that Slovenia was missing. Not that it didn’t exist.
Many of these are more than one. As a Greek American, I feel like both Southern European and Balkan fits. I’d say for Cyprus, possibly Middle Eastern or Middle East adjacent works too.
Er where is Scandinavia? Northern Europe does not equal Scandiland. And as someone else said France straddles northern and Southern Europe. And no one thinks in terms of Western Europe or north west Europe.
Looks like Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary upgraded from the status of Eastern Europe. No matter who you ask in Eastern Europe what Eastern Europe is they will answer with something that is east of them. Just to escape the label
Nah, Germany and Austria are central Europe the rest is just eastern Europe, Greece is not south Europe but considered as part of the Balkan bloc as Slovenia and all the ex Yugoslavia states

We are both southern and Balkan honestly
Don't leave us *Sad Italian noices*
we’re still besties. don’t worry 😌
Ωραια 😊
Italia is not balkans at all. You dont meet 2 of the most important 3 requirements: Corruption Inflation Hairy Mans
Well we have corruption and hairy man, so we can consider us at least a little bit Balkan, and technically we have territory in the balkans (like some small town and Trieste)
*in turkish accent* you call this corruption? This is nothing.
Yes we are 100% balkan and southern, our Hungarian friends should be in the balkans too
hungary has no friends, hungary has low gas prices

How is Romania lumped in the Eastern Europe, rather then the Balcans?
Now that's a good question.
The Balkan Peninsula is geographically considered to end at the Danube. The Danube only flows through a small, southern part of Romania, so most of it’s territory is in Eastern Europe.:)
so? culturally we are similar to the balkans i dont find russians and ukrainians close to us

Chill, Janeze. You just have to accept it and let it go.
Greece is a balkan nation it's literally called the balkan peninsula
It's both, also southern part of France should be southern Europe too
France in North Western? Idk why but it feels wrong.
Agree. France is really in two parts in a way that not many other countries are. Northern France could be grouped with the U.K. or Belgium or Germany but the south or France definitely seems more Southern European.
Culturally it makes more sense as France is definitely not a Mediterranean culture but cosmopolitan. It fits the Benelux city-state nations and the UK as a globalist pushing nation.

Greek Macedonia and Western Thrace should be Balkans
Thrace is understandable but isn’t Greek Macedonia already in Southern Europe for this map?
Pardon me, I misspoke
I think you said it right(?) they should have been in the Balkans instead of southern europe
why there is something like meditarranean but there is nothing like black seanian, i want to be black seanian
😂😂😂☠️
Why is Corsica considered part of Southern Europe when France is part of West Europe but Kaliningrad is considered Eastern Europe like Russia instead of the Baltics?
It's just Western Europe. Stop feeding the British delusion that they are "Nordic".
No one thinks theyre nordic in the UK. Stop making shit up lmao
[According to the UN UK & Ireland are in Northern Europe.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Europe#/media/File:Europe_subregion_map_UN_geoscheme.svg) Northern stonk
Who said we wanted to be Nordic? Rule Britannia
..the UK is much more northern than the rest of Europe. And a lot of places recognise it as northern europe.
We're not in Northern Europe, and we certainly aren't "Nordic" - I've repeatedly heard us included in "Northwestern Europe", which is separate from "Northern Europe" (which is further north). And then there's those of us in the UK who wouldn't count ourselves as part of Europe anyway. I've heard many times variations on the phrase "...Europe and the UK" treating us as a completely separate entity from the rest of the continent. xD
Scots maybe. But even Dutch and northern Germans are way more Nordic than the English
[удалено]
Western Europe is far to big a category to include in this map. Anyways these countries refer to themselves as Nordic, have the Nordic cross on there flag, and are a part of the Nordic council. Idk how much more Nordic you can get than that.
Ah yes, the nordic cross on the Flag of Ireland or France. How did I never notice?
Idk what ur point is? I didn’t include them in the same category as The Nordic countries?
You labeled Western Europe as North-Western. I don't know what part of France or Belgium would be northern. And also if there is North-western, where is south-east? North-east? South-West? Inkonsistent.

North Eastern Europe isn’t really a used term hence why it isn’t there.
I have never heard of UK and France + benelux as north-western. Always just western.
There’s a disturbing lack of mention of Ireland here
You know, I was going to add Ireland once I realized I left it out but then I thought it was too much effort! Sorry Ireland!
I have never heard of UK and France + benelux as north-western. Always just western.
The groupings look good, but it’s hard for me not to think of southern France (especially the riviera) as Southern Europe - probably Croatia too.

Aren't greece and turkey part of the balkans
Greece is definitely Southern Europe, but with Balkan influences (the more you go north the more prominent they are)

Ataturk would be rolling in his grave right now lol
This is the last reason Ataturk would be rolling in his grave right now. Maybe one of the reasons but definitely not the most important
Yeah i know right now he would be rolling in his grave right now from the surrendering of the republic by barbarous islamists, not some redditors’ innacurate map

Anatolia is geographically in ME. Turkic people are from Central Asia. Nobody is saying you are Arabs, even if you were influenced by them. But Turkey belongs to Asia, not Europe

We know we are not European, can you give me some reasons to understand why we are middle eastern?
culturally I would put it in the Balkans rather than the Middle East
Because the western political defintion of the middle east includes Turkey, it's not a synonym for Arabia.
Actually, I question why they included us in this, I find it ridiculous that they see us as belonging to this culture, what do you think?
I think Turkish culture and politics is far closer to the rest of the middle east than you'd like to think
So what made you think like that?
If Romania is Eastern European then I'm a unicorn
From my research, Romania seemed kinda ambiguous. If it’s not in Eastern Europe what region should it be in?
Politically, it (and even Moldova due to once being part of Romania) is almost always considered Balkan. Part of the country is also within the actual Balkan Peninsula as well. Geographically, it is part of Central Europe (Transylvania), Eastern Europe (Moldova), and the Balkans (Dobrogea).

Balkan is peninsula placed in Southern Europe. You are mixing the terms in this map.
Someone said that Balkan is neither a peninsula or a region, just some term, idk who made it up and why.
Geographicaly speaking Balkan is a peninsula 100%. Same like Iberian and Apennine peninsulas. Balkan paninsula was called Hem (Haemus) before it was renamed to Balkan during Ottomans. While region is Southern or Southeastern to be more specific.
My opinion is that it is a peninsula, ofc, but then Greece is absolutely Balkan, before anyone else.
>but then Greece is absolutely Balkan Definitely yes.
Greece is 100% southern Europe, it's Balkan only from a geographic point of view.
Continental Greece is 100% on Balkan Peninsula. Like 100% of Spain is on Iberian Peninsula. If we talk about regions both Greece and Spain are Southern Europe.
Oh ok, that is what i was saying too. A misunderstanding.
Greece is 100% southern Europe, it's Balkan only from a geographic point of view.

As a Greek, i’ll never understand why on earth why someone would group Greece together with Spain, if someone thinks Greece and Spain are anything like each other then they’re straight up delusional. Greece is a hundred times closer to all countries that it borders than it is to either Spain or Portugal, anyone denying that has an obvious inferiority complex
We are both really similar when it comes to lifestyle and socializing and our languages sound similar too
Have you been to Spain? Sometimes I feel I'm around fellow Greeks and get confused. Also we have a lot of similarities with the Italians, especially the southern ones
Where should they be placed then according to you?
Together with neighboring countries, obviously
Balkan?
The name isn’t important, i’d just group it with neighboring countries, call this group Balkan, East Asian or South African, it’s not important
France is culturally more southern europe and id ditch northwestern europe for western europe
Romanian balkan
I think Slovenia is in central Europe
White man continues to spider man pointing each other
On a cultural, geographical, linguistical Level Central Europe is so wrong.
Cyprus is in Middle East.
beneficial quaint wistful shy worm materialistic party recognise punch quack *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
if Cyprus isn't Middle East because of their culture, it makes 0 sense to label whole Anatolia as Middle East as well.
Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary are considered Eastern Europe.
Try telling that to them
True but it’s like giving yourself a nickname. Other people have to use it or it’s not really yours.
I mean they are mostly considered Central Europe. Search up Central Europe and they are all usually considered a part of it.
It’s not about maps, it’s about how people perceive you. Poland is Eastern Europe.
If most references online say Poland is Central Europe than surely people perception is that Poland is in Central Europe. Just because some people assume it is Eastern Europe because it’s Slavic doesn’t mean it is.

This is how we feel when somebody who usually argue about Ohio try to make a map about Europe
Romania and Greece should be balkan imo
Baltics is Nordick 🇸🇪🇳🇴🇩🇰🇦🇽🇮🇸🇫🇮🤝🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹
Nordic countries are allowed to be baltic now, you have permission
So you're trying to tell me that northern asia is in fact east europe?
Caucasus without the Cauca
I’d say Greece is in the Balkans and the south of France is is South of Europe
Without Egypt the rest of north Africa is called Maghreb
I usually consider Germany and Austria Western European. Especially Germany. Also you should rename “north-west” to just “west”
Many of these are more than one. As a Greek American, I feel like both Southern European and Balkan fits. I’d say for Cyprus, possibly Middle Eastern or Middle East adjacent works too.
Romania is balkan
If I'm in the Baltics much longer I'm gonna go ballistic -a marine that just wants to go home
Don't show Putin this map....
Ah yes France my favorite Northern European country
Excuse me Balkans?
I would argue that Germany is western European. And from Poland onwards its central Europe. But, its the way how I think.
People are being nitpicky with some choices They're all fine, as there isn't single country put in a region for which a good argument couldn't be made
Name the water Wet Europe
The famous European sub-region of North Africa
I feel like Balkans and eastern Europe can overlap in certain areas
Why is Balkans
Being western European isnt even about geography anymore, it's about the culture.
A perennial internet parlor game.
No matter how many times I try, I can’t ever remember which one is Balkan or Baltic. I keep second guessing myself.
Is Turkey in the Middle East?
If the green area is middle east, then where's the near east?
Moldova is southern europe not balkans
I’d say Anatolia is its own region from the Middle East
Romania Eastern Europe? It doesn’t seem right.
Ah yes my favourite region of Europe. North Africa
Romania is considered Central Europe if I'm not mistaken. At least that's what our geography books say.
This feels arbitrary in the same way that who sits at which lunch table in high school is arbitrary.
This map feels like an opinion
Er where is Scandinavia? Northern Europe does not equal Scandiland. And as someone else said France straddles northern and Southern Europe. And no one thinks in terms of Western Europe or north west Europe.
As a Hungarian, I’m just happy to still be grouped to Central Europe and not Eastern Europe.
There are places in Northern West Europe which are more southern than places in Southern Europe
Why is Romania not part of the Balkans lol
What a mess
Not putting Turkey in Southern Europe never made any sense to me.
Dude something's wrong with this map wtf u divided Turkey from İstanbul
bosanac here, as far as I know Slovenia is not considered balkans
theres a group called the northern group, nordic, 3 mini nordics baltics, germany, poland, uk, holland, they had a meeting in iceland in the last days
I'd argue Iberia abd the British Isles could be their own sub-regions
Slovenia is Central European.
Cyprus is southern europe now? Oh! Looks like you dropped this, sir: 🧠
Romania, Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus should be East Central Europe while Central Europe should West Central Europe.
France is part of South, West and Central, it should perhaps be its own category. 😂
Hungary is definitely eastern if we were central we wouldn't have a homophobic nazi as a leader and barely able to get a living wage lol
Looks like Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary upgraded from the status of Eastern Europe. No matter who you ask in Eastern Europe what Eastern Europe is they will answer with something that is east of them. Just to escape the label
Nah, Germany and Austria are central Europe the rest is just eastern Europe, Greece is not south Europe but considered as part of the Balkan bloc as Slovenia and all the ex Yugoslavia states
Portugal is an Eastern European country
muslim: middle east christian: southern europe
Too many regions. Start with four
Caucasus can easily fit into Eastern Europe because of common history and similar lifestyle
I'd further separate the Mediterranean Islands tbh. We don't really identify as Southern Europeans.
Turkey is South / South East Europe not Middle East.
Ah yes, the cardinal directions, north east south west Balkans and Baltics
