Where is Poland?

[Pokurcz]

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

And Russia back to the Tartars.

Oh Vladdy boy, the stepps the stepps are caaaling
From lake to lake and up the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flow'rs are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and from the snooow hide.

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

all of those are core german cities.

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

Poland is where my car is.

since this holds true under all circumstances imaginable, it pretty much is the only reliable definition of where poland is.

Hannibal, Napoleon, Charles XII, Lee, Rommel

[Pokurcz]

Oh yeah! And Austria is also in Eastern Europe!

Almost forgot.

 

[holy king]

austria is in southern germany.

 

[warpus]

Southern Germany? Surely you mean Südlichenreich.. which incidently enough is a part of South-Northern Poland

 

[Pokurcz]

No no I remember distinctly, I have been to Wienna by train you see, that it lays south of Poland and Czechia.

Are we talking culturally or geographically here?

 

[holy king]

culturally of course, geographically europe isnt even a continent.

Sure it is. Geographical definitions are just as subjective as cultural ones.

 

[cardgame]

A continent is a continuous piece of land - so Eurafricasia is a continent, but Europe isn't. Technically.

The land extends under the ocean as well....

This must be a forum joke I am not getting.

I just kinda figured it was eastern Europe mostly due to the language being slavic.

They're just trying to fool you. They're really from Zimbabwe and migrated across the Bering land bridge 20,000 years ago. That's how they got to Canada.

That's not, actually, the definition. In addition to what askthepizzaguy said - it's all continuous land, so you need a "separated by large bodies of water" - you omitted a size requirement. And even then, yeah, you're left with four continents, two of which are marginal.

Simply put, what is and is not a continent is a matter of convention, not some supposedly objective, pure geographical SCIENCE definition. And Europe is conventionally regarded as a continent.

Pluto is not a planet.

[Dachs]

Taspan II used to be a planet.

 

[aronnax]

Pluto Georgium Sidus is not a planet.

I think we all watch the same Youtube channel.

Europe itself is a cultural definition. Thus it makes sense to divide Europe in cultural boundaries, where Poland is clearly central european along with it's neighbors Czech Rep., Slovakia, Hungary and Austria. (As well as Bavaria)
