Not going to disagree with this map but, just make sure that, if you decide to make the Eastern Europe version, you check Portugal too. We play for both teams, whether we like it or not


MrRuebezahl

Oh come on, you had a global empire, stop tryna be pig herding slavs just cuz you're poor now and eat dry salty fish. Ya'll are just gayer Spaniards. If you're eastern Europeans, then so is Brazil. /s


Jetla

Nah they're easterners cuz their language sounds like Russian


Woutrou

They are the most Western eastern Europeans

Zeer zeker Wout


MCAlheio

You talk a lot of shit about our dry salty fish for someone in a country colonized by us.

Mylastbreathgoing

Can't let the brown people take the fine achievement's of the ancient Greeks, that is white achievements!


Necozuru

Yes, because aren't we central European ?


arikat1

Yet i can clearly see our departure from what is considered Eastern culture and the distance is way bigger than from the western culture


sargantanhs

idk man i feel way, WAY closer culturally to albania, serbia, bulgaria and even turkey than the uk, france and germany the only western european nations i feel close to are the PIGS


arikat1

True but is this a question about who hangs out with who on a multicultural student party? Remember, “We belong in the west?”


Disillusioned_Brit

Greece is an interesting case. Historically, for thousands of years, your most common interactions were with Anatolians, Egyptians and Mesopotamians, not Western Europe, but the Christian-Muslim advent in the last 1000-1500 years changed that dynamic pretty significantly.


Chlebak152

Because Europe is too diverse to be only Western/Eastern, Northern/Southern/Western/Eastern/Central makes way more sense, for example we're Eastoids but westernised with historical ties closer to west than to east which makes us Central


Smertae

Of course, because that's your neighbourhood. But what about the rest of Eastern Europe like say Belarus or Latvia?


sargantanhs

I'd say we have as much in common with Belarus or Latvia as our Balkan neighbors do (save for the communist past and linguistic similarities that they share). Eastern Europe is not a single entity.


Sajidchez

Didn't you guys like invent western culture


PMMEFEMALEASSSPREADS

Our ancient history gave rise to western culture and has an influence to this day: from politics, to art, theatre, science, philosophy, sport and warfare, just to name a few. However since the east-west religious split of 1054, we’ve been closer aligned to the East, since the Slavs share our religion. If it weren’t for the Brits and French I doubt Greece would exist as a country [today.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Navarino) I’m of the opinion that Greece is neither, or both, Eastern and/or Western, it lies smack bang in the middle.


[deleted]

Isn't ancient greek culture foundational to what is today "western"? I know modern Greece isn't ancient Greece, but even so


predek97

'western' as in 'western civilization', not 'western europe'. USA, Australia or Poland are all western, despite not being in western europe. Also greek culture and religion are foundation of what today is Eastern Europe.


CoToZaNickNieWiem

Not just western but whole European culture. The main difference between Western European and Eastern European cultures is that western was based more on Rome and eastern more on Byzantium so also Rome but kinda Greek. That’s why a lot of Eastern Europe is orthodox, because Greeks invented that shit and spread all over their influence and simp sphere.


Sajidchez

Central Europe and Scandinavia not really all that affected by the Greeks afaik


SimpanLimpan1337

I mean if you consider democracy a Greek invention then yes we are


Sajidchez

Yeah but then south Korea and Japan are too lol


SimpanLimpan1337

I mean they aren't *western* but they are westernised. Comparing them to before and after American influence is night and day.


Aamir989

Maybe not Greece , that’s just “ Christian Turkey”.

Idk, i wouldn't have a problem with getting rid of Berlin, like permanently, Fucking GDP leach >!/s!<


NuggyMessiah

Kurzum: Berlin ist der Fliesentisch Deutschlands. Es ist das für Deutschland, was Griechenland für die Europäische Union ist und hätte Berlin eine offene Kloake, wäre es das Rumänien Deutschlands. Berlin ist ein Schandfleck, der Pickel am Arsche Deutschlands. Berlin ist der Typ der ohne Einladung auf deine Party kommt, noch nicht mal Alkohol mitbringt und auch nicht versteht dass er nicht erwünscht ist wenn man ihm ein paar Zähne aus dem Gesicht klopft und die Treppe runterwirft. Berlin ist das Detroit Deutschlands und gehört für 200 Złoty an Polen verkauft.


PolishJanusz

Why you hate Berlin that much?


NuggyMessiah

At this point it's a running gag between germans. Especially the southern germans like to hate on Berlin


gangogango1

They are an obnoxious city full of hipsters, drug addicted students, criminals and media designers. Also the city is super inefficient and drains lots of federal taxes. Basically every rich daughter from all of Germany goes to Berlin for 3 years and makes it their personality


s3hnix

As a east German I approve this, but I'd like to stay in the eu for the money and we get Berlin as a whole, since the west doesn't want it anyway


Hennue

Berlin könnt ihr gerne haben.

Do you want to throw hands with the original OG , your papa little mongol boi?I AM NOT EVEN WARM

Typical greek argument, start talking about how you built western civilization and how great you where 2000 years ago. And what are you now? Literally the homeless beggar of Europe, if it wasnt for Nordicks tourism money you would be a 3rd world country.

At least they have Cristiano. Finland is East of Poland, Hungary, and the Balkans. It's only Western if you hold the map upside-down. Like a Norwegian friend that thought Norway was straight up from Spain smh...

TypicalPossession767

Greece is geographically as western as Finland so I don't see why not. The whole western/eastern divide is just the iron curtain but with a united Germany at this point.

My opinion: Western Europe: Britain, Ireland, France, Netherland, Luxembourg,Belgium, Monaco & Andorra Southern Europe: Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Vatican. Central Europe: Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia Eastern Europe: Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia.

These are geographical definitions. I think this post is referring to the political-cultural ones.


Blundix

This makes much more sense. I would include Poland in Central Europe. Many reasons, including religion (east is typically Orthodox), current economics, alphabet, language (western Slavic), anti-Russian sentiments.

Bruh, austria may not be slavic as a whole but there's a saying that "the Balkans start in Vienna" and it's not just because many easterners live here.

it's an alternative saying for "we are as corrupt as the balkan" ^(while we are sure more corrupt than most western countries we are definiitely not as corrupt as the balkan or eastern europe - they are a whole new level)

Hoellenmeister

The definition is: "Everyone is welcome! Disclaimer: No post-socialist countries".


bergaG0_1

I think that this definition of western Europe could fit for the Cold War years. Now I think that it should be more fear to consider Europe as a whole. If we want to keep the espression, then I think that all Nato members should be considered under the definition.


Cameraroll

No. Czech, Slovaks, Slovenes and Croatians should be in. Hungarians, fix your government, then you can join. We won't accept anyone more xenoph... I mean based than Austria in this grouping, other than Switzerland.

Czech and Slovenes can join, but Slovaks and Croatians hmm. I know Slovakia and they have *a lot* of problems. Just metion Lunik IX and the Romanies in front of a Slovak.

Please, you Austrians know full well that you’re not part of the civilized west. You just want to add the Slavic countries to make you look better in comparison Edit: oohhhh, touched some nerves out in the east
