It has been calculated many times already. The problem is that no one can agree where the borders of Europe are, so the center varies by your definition of Europe.
That's the easternmost border. You still have to agree with the southernmost, westernmost, and northernmost borderds. The biggest problem is which islands count as Europe.
That’s our new identity now! We Poles are a Southern-Western nation! If you don’t agree you are clearly xenophobic!
(No, but seriously guys, Western, Southern, Northern, Central - pick any of these just not Eastern, PLEASE)
If you put this map over a map of Poland at its greatest territorial extent, you'll see the least of its territory is Eastern. And as Poland grew smaller, it only ever grew more western, so it's safe to conclude Poland was never ever Eastern.
It seems you are the idiot sandwich. You seriously don’t know the Baltic Prussians? The indigenous people of Prussia before the Teutonic Knights wiped them out. Maybe you need to open a book
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Prussians
No the Baltic Prussians, the people who lived in Prussia before the Teutonic Knights. Spoke a Baltic language and were the original inhabitants of Prussia.
not quite the same distance, I used the geometric center, see the Lithuania subheading https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_midpoint_of_Europe#Lithuania
I mean technically the center of Europe is either in Eastern Poland, Lithuania or Belarus depending on the method used...
So, what’s your point exactly?
"The center of Europe is Germany"
I never heard about any modern methodology that would claim that the center of Europe is Germany. I think you are thinking about the center of EUROPEAN UNION, not EUROPE - the continent...
Even if you include all the islands - You would have to exclude half of Russian European territory to say that the center of Europe is Germany
There aren't any Russians in or west of Moscow? I'm just moving the centerpoint out of the easternmost country, while carefully keeping it away from France.
What is wrong with you people ? Have you skipped geography at school ?
Seriously whenever there is this kind of map, someone has to say that Europe ends at the russian border or something.
And now we know mathematically where Central Europe is
I live 10 km from that place. There is a constant shining beam of light, and if you come close you get sucked into the beam and transported to Belize.
Breaking not gud refrence?!?!?
What did Vince mean by this?
It has been calculated many times already. The problem is that no one can agree where the borders of Europe are, so the center varies by your definition of Europe.
If someone can agree where borders are, are they even a real European?
Of course not. Armenia is European, but the tallest European mountain is Mont Blanc.
The Ural mountainrange? I thought this was accepted by most.

A nerd? In a cartography circlejerk sub? God forbid!
Ah yes, famously southern country Poland
And Belarus

Finally a political compass that actually makes sense
Wtf the center is way too much on the northeastern part
Lithuania Center of Europa, Prusso-Nordic ancestry💪💪💪🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹
Bro what. Unless you’re talking about the Baltic Prussians
You mean the actual Prussians?
Bingo. The original Prussians.
Self proclaimed history guy
What are you? An idiot sandwich? What other prussians do you know about lmao
It seems you are the idiot sandwich. You seriously don’t know the Baltic Prussians? The indigenous people of Prussia before the Teutonic Knights wiped them out. Maybe you need to open a book https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Prussians
Yea maybe I do, but I’m a little to busy managing my sanity right now. Also, the Teutonic Knights were still prussians in the end sooo
Geographically sure. But not culturally or linguistically
stfu
Ah someone that doesn’t know what they’re talking about
stfu
maybe he confused prussia with the teutonic knights, who migrated from the mediterranean to danzig and who would form prussia with brandenburg
No the Baltic Prussians, the people who lived in Prussia before the Teutonic Knights. Spoke a Baltic language and were the original inhabitants of Prussia.
ESTONIA IS FINALLY NORDIC 🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪💪💪💪💪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪
estonia can suck my ball
You have only one ball like Hitler
How are the Ural Mountains to Lithuania the same distance as Latvia to Ireland?
not quite the same distance, I used the geometric center, see the Lithuania subheading https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_midpoint_of_Europe#Lithuania
Portugal in western Europe?? Don't make me laugh.
I now want this exact same map, except Portugal is in northern Yurop. No other changes.
I live in very far Western Europe.
Russia claims some amount of territory in all of these quadrants, and frankly that terrifies me.
So does Lithuania.. And if *that* doesn't scare you, I don't know what will
Ah yes, the center of Europe, Belarus
I mean technically the center of Europe is either in Eastern Poland, Lithuania or Belarus depending on the method used... So, what’s your point exactly?

no the centre of europe is germany because i say so
Nice wishful thinking, really.
they don’t call me Therry H. opeful for nothing
No, Belarus is southern Europe
Spain is northern Europe and you can't change my mind
Let's just say Russia east of Moscow doesn't count so we can get the centerpoint to old Prussia, mmmkay?
But why?
Because russo peeeple bad no white Europeen like me!!!
There aren't any Russians in or west of Moscow? I'm just moving the centerpoint out of the easternmost country, while carefully keeping it away from France.
1: Petersburg and Smolensk probably won't mind. 2: Central Europe just can't be east of Poland. Definitively, it includes Germany.
What is wrong with you people ? Have you skipped geography at school ? Seriously whenever there is this kind of map, someone has to say that Europe ends at the russian border or something.
Right? Obviously it ends at Kaliningrad, Lithuania is an Asian country after all
Lithuania is African, you can tell by the flag
And the shape
You’ve officially ruined Norway for me
So we just gonna ignore the Mercator projection? 💀
Yes.
No Turkey *or* Cyprus? Damn, you folks are harsh.
My favorite southern European city? **Warsaw**
Lol i was in the center of Europe in latvia and there's a creek with frogs there and it's just a monument surrounded by trees
lithuania or latvia?
What's the difference
umm uhh i think theyre cities in poland
>poland Isn't that in Amaterdam?
amaterdam????
All I see is a chewed-up rainbow swastika...which is a strangely accurate description of Europe right now. 🤷♂️

Wrong.
So eastern europe is just a part of russia
What did you do to Thrace??
What about Central Europe?
And this is how the 4 southern countries got dismissed
