Central Europe is really a thing, but I only realized it when I went to Poland.

One map I like is this one. Show the differences between central and eastern Europe.

I like this one

Clearly, central Europe is a scam, never let them divide us!

As a Swede, I fully support kicking Denmark out of Scandinavia 👍

I'm more in the Slavoj Žižek school of though where everything under the English Channel is the balkans.

As long as there's no central balkans, I'm with you!

Couldn't disagree with Žižek anyway

I dunno, I'm in Estonia and I have been to Poland, it's pretty eastern European round here.

Everything that was in soviet sphere after WW2 has eastern European vibes to this day, sadly. Things get better over time, but those 40 years of oppression will be hard to fix completely.
