And now we know mathematically where Central Europe is


Chieftah

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.


skibapple

Breaking not gud refrence?!?!?


user_lnrs

What did Vince mean by this?


[deleted]

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.


whooo_me

If someone can agree where borders are, are they even a real European?


Grzechoooo

Of course not. Armenia is European, but the tallest European mountain is Mont Blanc.


[deleted]

The Ural mountainrange? I thought this was accepted by most.


[deleted]

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.

A nerd? In a cartography circlejerk sub? God forbid!


guanaco22

Ah yes, famously southern country Poland


A_bunch_of_potateos

And Belarus


JustYeeHaa

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)


Grzechoooo

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.

Finally a political compass that actually makes sense


proposital

Wtf the center is way too much on the northeastern part


LeFedoraKing69

Lithuania Center of Europa, Prusso-Nordic ancestry💪💪💪🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹


Lingist091

Bro what. Unless you’re talking about the Baltic Prussians


Voxelking1

You mean the actual Prussians?


Lingist091

Bingo. The original Prussians.


OmeletteFanatic

Self proclaimed history guy


Zvenc

What are you? An idiot sandwich? What other prussians do you know about lmao


Lingist091

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


Zvenc

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


Lingist091

Geographically sure. But not culturally or linguistically


360gamerxbox

stfu


Lingist091

Ah someone that doesn’t know what they’re talking about


DSspeedrunner

stfu


Jusu_1

maybe he confused prussia with the teutonic knights, who migrated from the mediterranean to danzig and who would form prussia with brandenburg


Lingist091

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.

Maxinator10000

How are the Ural Mountains to Lithuania the same distance as Latvia to Ireland?


jay_altair

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


kaasrapsmen

Portugal in western Europe?? Don't make me laugh.


Logan_Maddox

I now want this exact same map, except Portugal is in northern Yurop. No other changes.


[deleted]

I live in very far Western Europe.


TheRealCactusTiddy

Russia claims some amount of territory in all of these quadrants, and frankly that terrifies me.


Alesq13

So does Lithuania.. And if *that* doesn't scare you, I don't know what will


lolnoobkoll

Ah yes, the center of Europe, Belarus


JustYeeHaa

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?


lolnoobkoll

The center of Europe is Germany.


JustYeeHaa

"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


rj-2

no the centre of europe is germany because i say so


JustYeeHaa

Nice wishful thinking, really.


rj-2

they don’t call me Therry H. opeful for nothing


yeh_

No, Belarus is southern Europe


mijailrodr

Spain is northern Europe and you can't change my mind


GaaraMatsu

Let's just say Russia east of Moscow doesn't count so we can get the centerpoint to old Prussia, mmmkay?


Kdlbrg43

But why?


HA_HA_Bepis

Because russo peeeple bad no white Europeen like me!!!


GaaraMatsu

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.


GaaraMatsu

1: Petersburg and Smolensk probably won't mind. 2: Central Europe just can't be east of Poland. Definitively, it includes Germany.


[deleted]

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.


yeh_

Right? Obviously it ends at Kaliningrad, Lithuania is an Asian country after all


erinius

Lithuania is African, you can tell by the flag


VFDan

And the shape


Cosmic_WasTaken

You’ve officially ruined Norway for me
