Ah, we're finally on the right side of the Iron Curtain 
I don't see why should this map be outrageous or something. It's natural that the first world countries want to regulate immigration.

Isn't the "heavily guarded borders" bit, inaccurate in Europe there? I thought borders between EU countries were very open, but central/eastern Europe doesn't reflect that in the map.

Czechia is grey on the map.
It's an old map - the "future Schengen border" is now a reality
There are no border checks between Schengen zone countries, but the borders with non-Schengen, non-EU (candidate) countries are pretty heavily protected. In Eastern Poland, the new border is pretty hardcore - if there was barbed wire, it would qualify for a new iron curtain.

It is mentioned, but I thought the open borders was an EU wide thing, not just a thing with most of the EU. The treaty confused me a little. Even after the treaty expansion mentioned, it wouldn't include all EU members in Eastern Europe.

There are no EU members in Eastern Europe.
Anyway, before we joined Schengen, we could travel accross the EU just with an ID card, passport was not required. Similar arrangements now exist with some EU candidate countries and the EU members which have not yet joined the Schengen zone (Romania, Bulgaria plus the British Isles).
surely the baltic states are in eastern europe

Eastern Europe:
Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Moldova and MAYBE Georgia and Armenia (on cultural grounds).
That's all I am going to say on this topic here.

That's one to remember.
I guess they qualified these areas as areas where are more non-religious people than Christians or Muslims....

Yes. AFAIK people who call themselves non-religious are a majority in the Czech Rep. (56% IIRC).

Unrecognized nations in the Black Sea region (or Central Europe if that is what they call it themselves)
Nations around the Black Sea are not Central Europe either.
Kosovo is now recognized by many countries, isn't it? I'd add Crimea, because that's the next ministate to be liberated by Russia (/sarcasm).
Get them to the UN and then we'll talk.
