How is the centre determined, because for the Netherlands that doesn’t quite look like the centre.
Bullseye, Malta nailed it ;p
France is broken
This would be much more interesting if it show the coordinates of the center of each European country and give the criteria used to calculate it.
Pre WW2 Berlin used to be more in the center of Germany.
Do we get to see where Russia’s geographical center is?
whys the center of france in galicia im so confused
Yes I see that the Vatican city’s center is slightly further north because of santa
Croatia’s geographical center is in Bosnia
Considering how large Spain is they pretty much nailed it.
Berlin and Vienna made a lot more sense as capital cities before WW1 and 2.
Nice to know that the center of San Marino and Malta are respectively at San Marino and Malta 😀
So the geographical centre of Ireland is near Loughrea? Guess we’ll make that the new capital.
technically the geometric Centre of France would be somewhere in earth’s mantle
This is so beautiful but so pointless at the same time! 😛
Well done, Spain.
>Spain
“Perfectly balanced, as all things should be”
Getafe capital of Spain confirmed.
Athlone should have always been the capital lads!
funny how countries which built Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth have nearly ideal geometric center as capital
Vienna and Bratislava look like they wanted to meet up. Europe’s capitals with the shortest distance between them afaik.
What’s going with Denmark? Shouldn’t Greenland pull it’s geometric center closer to Iceland?
Or is this map drawn by a Dane who has set their eyes on Skåne?
France is interesting because it has territories far off in the Indian and Atlantic Ocean, but the center still someone averages out to being in Europe
It’s strange that Greenland is not counted for den marks middle
If you’re taking in account the Carribbean Netherlands the geographical center should be somewhere in the Atlantic lol.
Why is France’s that way? Because of it overseas territories?
This would be interesting to see with a “weighted geographic center.” Is there a term for that? I realize that France, for instance, is thrown off my French Guyana and the territories in the Pacific, but they’re really so small, that they shouldn’t impact the result if there were some form of weighting.
Madrid nailed it.
TIL that the center of France is not, as you might expect, in France. In fact it’s in Spain.
