What is Eastern Europe?

geo.universe:

This map shows how often different countries are classified as โ€œEastern Europeanโ€ in international contexts โ€” and the results might surprise you.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Ukraine, ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russia, ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡พ Belarus, and ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฉ Moldova top the list โ€” consistently identified as part of Eastern Europe.
Meanwhile, countries like ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ Poland, ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ Hungary, and even ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฟ Uzbekistan appear less often, showing just how fluid and subjective geographic and cultural boundaries can be.

๐Ÿ“Š The darker the green, the more frequently a country is labeled as Eastern European.
