Where is Poland?

[Mise]

Below is an image of how I see Europe. It is a compromise between the Polish desire for it to be considered "Western", whilst still acknowledging that they are basically Russian.

You have missed out Celtic

-> If Romania is in western europe, then you'll get a problem to explain why Poland isn't ^^.

hahaha this is an awful categorization

Geez do you guys know what "roughly" means?

 

[Mise]

Balls, I should have added Turkey to Western Europe, as a NATO core member.

Poland also supplies half of Germany's footballing team SNAP

Podolski, Klose ... didn't know we had only four team members. Could explain why we didn't win the last championship

Poland is west of where it used to be, but it is still in eastern europe, but so is Germany, Sweden and Italy

France, Belgium and the Netherlands are central europe

Never ask the British about Continental geography.

Roughly:

Western Europe = Romantic languages (Portugal, Spain, France, Italy) + UK
Eastern Europe = Slavic languages (fmr USSR, Poland, fmr Yugoslavia)
Central Europe = Germanic languages (Netherlands, Scandinavia, Germany, Austria)

Poor Finno-Ugric languages. Where do they live? The Great Pannonian Taiga?

Geez do you guys know what "roughly" means?

Yes, but you should never that in the way of some snark!

Wouldn't that be Northern Europe?

BTW, Africa is Southern Europe, if any one was interested.

Approximations are useless when dealing with Poles.

 

[TheLastOne36]

Yes it did. So what?

It makes no sense to use Cold War definitions in a world where there is no Cold War.





Here is a compromise everyone, give us back Lwow, Luck, Bresc, Grodno and Vilnius and then we can be Eastern European.

Oh, I think I can do another one!

"The Poles roughly won the Siege of Vienna."

Done, if Germany gets Schlesien, Posen, Pomerellen, and Westpreußen back.

Surprised you said Vilnius instead of Wilno, actually.

"The Poles roughly won the Siege of Vienna."

No, Polish influence on that battle was worthless at best. It was all Austrians with the help of their Holy Roman allies that won the battle and beat back the Turks. Everyone knows this.

I slipped.

I accept that offer. Because then I would be German and could support a successful national team!!

 

[Leonel]

Your saying Poland is in Asia?

Will that make patriotic Poles more irritated?

 

[Terxpahseyton]

Poland is where my car is.

 

[red_elk]

I have even better solution.
Give Lwow, Luck, Brest, Grodno and Vilnius back to Poland,
and Poland back to Russia.

Actually, it's more because Kara Mustafa was a terrible general.

Generals who lose battles and more importantly wars, are not often remembered for being "great".

 

[Dachs]

Bit of a non sequitur, that.

 

[Tee Kay]

Generals who lose battles and more importantly wars, are not often remembered for being "great".

Hannibal, Napoleon, Charles XII, Lee, Rommel

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Wrong. Poland is in CANADA.

I've already covered this in great detail. Try and keep up, mortals.

 

[Yeekim]

Not sure where it lies though...
