Ultimate Map of European Institutions (2026)

corenovax:

I made a map that shows the main European institutions that countries belong to. I tried to include as many important institutions as possible, but this map can't claim to be exhaustive. I also chose not to include international organisations that are important but are not exclusively European, like the G7, G20, OECD and NATO. The main purpose of this map is to show an extensive but understandable Euler diagram of European institutions. 

This map was inspired by a combination of two things:

1- this map by u/trans1000

2- this Euler diagram of European institutions on French wikipedia

Diagram made with Affinity and map made with mapchart.net.

Notes: 

• Smaller European institutions like the Nordic council, Baltic union, Visegrád group, were not included, to preserve readability.

• Although Kosovo and Montenegro use the euro as their official currency, they are not official members of the eurozone.

• Although the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) applies in Kosovo as a result of domestic incorporation of the ECHR, Kosovo is not an official member state of the European council.

• Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and the Vatican are officially not members of the Schengen area, but since they have open borders, they are de facto part of Schengen.

• Bulgaria is not yet in the Eurozone, but it will officially join on 1 January 2026.
