Light blue: Asian areas of transcontinental Eurasian countries which extend into both continents
Dark blue: countries geographically located outside Europe which are considered European for cultural, historical and/or political reasons
Iceland should be green. It is on European tectonic plate (at least partially) and its closer to Europe than to America. So it’s actual Erupoean island, not just for cultural or polictical reasons.
Isn’t geography itself just a big bunch of cultural and historical reasons? So it’s sort weird to say somewhere is “considered european” because of that.
There’s not a consistent physical definition for any of this stuff.
Have to save this for my italian wife who doesn’t think Ukrainians, Belarusian, Baltic and Balkan people are not European. This woman has a masters degree from a private university in Milan too
What reason Israel is not considering European? Jesus was from Israel. Christianity is Abrahamic religion which is born in Israel.
Would Israel not also be considered culturally European?
I think Georgia should be considered European as well.
If Armenia is culturally European then are Georgia and Israel. And Georgia have been ruled by Christian kings much longer than Armenia. When Armenia was under Abbasid rule Georgia was still Christian and a subject of the Eastern Rome. And again when Armenia was a part of Turkic Qara Koyunlus Georgia was still independent. Don’t be unfair to Georgia 🙁
IMO Morocco is more European than Kazakhstan. I don’t know why this fake divisions are still a thing.
I have always wondered why definitions of the European peninsula doesn’t end at the line between the black sea and Kaliningrad.
Estonia Central European!!!!
I have read that most or all of northern Asia (Siberia) is culturally European, all the way to the pacific.
I’d say Scandinavia except for Finland doesn’t see thrmselfs as Europe. Rather Scandinavia.
Kazakhstan is NOT european
In Slovakia, we’ve been taught that Ural is geographical boundary of Europe.

I can work with that.
russia not in red, belarus with data – seems suspicious
Sorry but Eastern Europe and Western Europe are not culturally the same.
Just look at vaccine uptake..
We are different it’s stupid pretending we aren’t..
Get a map up of gay rights and you can see a line right down the middle of Europe…
Europe’s eastern boundary is rather fuzzy.
The concept of Europe-asia division is just dump and fake.
Damnit, it looked so good at first.
Why did you have to mess Iceland up?
Fixes: Iceland should be green. Russians past Europe in Russia and Kazakhstan for heavy blue. Culturally, Greenland possibly light blue not heavy. Georgia should be heavy blue if Armenia is. Northern Cyprus should be light blue to keep consistent with the Turkish language. Heavy blue dots for the Spanish enclaves around Morocco, Armenian Azerbaijan and the French island south of Labrador. If Christian = heavy blue then you should probably go in depth with the north Caucasus.
Thanks Europe, we’re honored 🙂
Georgia should be dark blue imo
How are the Azores classified as « Considered European for cultural and historical reasons » ? To what are they rattached ?
Why are Crete and Malta considered part of a geographical Europe and Cyprus is not?
You are very wrong about Iceland..
lolwut? Iceland should be green.
And Kazakhstan should be gray.
Europe has no “cultural” boundaries, because that Europe has a shared culture is myth. Europe is a geographical region, highlighted green in this map.
Btw I just noticed that the Aegean and Ionian islands don’t exist in this map lmao
Europe is West Asia so your boundaries are simply wrong
