Funny how Czechia is listed as Eastern Europe when it says in the article Czechs hate being referred to as Eastern Europeans

As mentioned before, the list goes by the UN's definition, which includes Czechia as part of Eastern Europe. Central Europe isn't counted as a region by most definitions of Europe, but has it's own page.

Why are the British Isles listed in Northern Europe? Since when are they considered Nordic?

Geographically, they Northern European, and the UN (which the lists go by) includes them in Northern Europe.

Is the first paragraph strictly necessary? It makes it seem like the website is solely targeted at Americans and American stereotypes than a Useful Notes page for anyone to find factual information regardless of which country or continent they make come from.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading. Hide / Show Replies

It does seem a bit too American-focused. I'll change it.

No, but Greece is, Dunno why that is in the Balkans section.

Cryptic, it's because Greece and some of the Balkan nations share a common part of history (namely, both having been part of the Byzantine Empire at one point). I'll put a small note, nonetheless.

"Russia west of the Urals"...don't you mean EAST of the Urals?

Either way, this whole thing with labeling "Europe" and "Asia" as separate continents needs to end. No body of water or continental divide separates the two regions, so why does this blatant Eurocentric labeling still exist? It's ONE continent—Eurasia!

Okay, I get the alphabetic categorisation, but how about we have this:

  • Cyprus
    • Northern Cyprus

Sounds like a good idea?

Probably should get working on that essay now...
