So, Europe is between the longitudes 25°W to 65°E, so that means the exact center is 20°E. As a result whatever is left and right for 20°E (i.e. 10°E to 30°E) are the true Central European countries.
Well what’you know … https://i.imgur.com/Cd3MZBF.jpeg
I think I’m too American to get this.
Romania really said ‘we’re the main character of Europe’ 😂 Honestly, that’s the confidence we all need.
Are we talking about politics or geography?
If you make a cardboard cutout of the European continent and balance it on a pin, the center point is in Lithuania.
If you go by geographical definition, 80% of the Russian population lives in Europe.
ok but why is the circle cut-off, Helsinki is clearly also in the circle
How do you cut out de islands?
very carefully
But how do you make them float in the air while you balance the continent on a pin?
This is left as an exercise for the reader.
Don’t be like Europe suicidal down there.
I’d grant maybe Transylvania as Central Europe given it was part of Austria-Hungary for a good while. Good number of the German and Hungarian minorities in Romania are from there.
Moldova? Definitely not central Europe.
Romania is an odd Venn diagram really. Is it Balkan? Sort of. Eastern European? Yeah kind of. Maybe find where the stuffed vine leaf/stuffed cabbage leaf divide is and split it that way. Analogous to the olive oil/butter divide in Italy.
Oh shit Nordic is just North
It slightly bugs me that the U in “YOURSELF” isn’t also rainbow. A hidden message of “BE YOU” makes much more sense than “BE YO.”
Unless that’s the point, like a meme I’m simply out of the loop for.
Bees live in myself!?! How’d they get in there?
I ironically agree with this take.
The fact the piece of Russia in the European peninsula is also Central Europe makes this look more like an Axis map than anything.
Which makes Romania booting Hungary into the east and claiming parts of Bulgaria all the more relevant.
It’s like they haven’t updated their maps since the late dark ages/early middle ages.
They would be the westroman empire.
Everybody is stressing their own country’s distinctive Westernness or at least Centralness because deep down they know, with all their papal coronations, crusades and column rich buildings, that Romania is the cradle of the remaining west roman values and the true center of the west.
I love how blatantly it juts out
