Is central Europe ever even used outside the context of coping about being is eastern Europe?

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 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.

Oh, ok... So are you Chinese or Japanese?

Northern Europe generally includes the UK, but London is further south than Berlin.
