I swear, every single map from Eastern European countries tries to explain why their country is actually not Eastern European but actually Central European (and why their easternmost neighbours aren’t).
I am yet to finally find the map that shows Europe divided into just „Western Europe“ and „Central Europe“

I’m from Romania and this the first time in my life seeing this map.
We are not in central Europe, I don’t know tho tf is creating this kind of „maps“
Slightly off topic but Romania is the only Balkan country that managed to make its greater version of itself reality in terms of territory. Bulgaria and Serbia tried but didn’t work out. I guess there’s still the area in Ukraine and Moldova that Romanian nationalists want but all in all it’s the biggest country in the Balkan Peninsula and medium sized in territory/population.
Edit: just pointing out that I’m not saying the post was stolen or copied. I’m saying that someone has posted, giving the answer you wanted. They break down north, east, south, west and central. I was trying to be helpful

Eastern EU countries should stop being ashamed of that label. Poland has already gotten rid of this complex, Southern Europe is the new „Eastern Europe“. But to be clear, Poland is Central Europe, not Eastern Europe.

Very convenient to forget that the Black Sea is considered a geographical limit of Europe, just the same as the Ural Mountain or the Atlantic Ocean

Can’t we just all be Europe? As a Portuguese guy, my country is western, southern and also surprisingly eastern Europe all at the same time 😵💫

It is fair to claim that the 40% NW part of the country, Transylvania, is in Central Europe while the rest is South-East Europe.

I love this stuff. Country insecurities.
– Argentina is white
– Argentina is a big country
– Romania is in Central Europe
I’ve heard a couple of Peruvians be way too excited about potential German heritage. But don’t know if that’s a pattern yet. We had a Peruvian girl in university who looked like Pocahontas talking about her German heritage from Munich at every chance LOL

With Russia containing close to 50% of the European landmass, surely any country just west of it is pretty much central Europe.

Guys Romania isnt Central Europe
They aren’t Eastern Europe either they have already been claimed by the Balkans

Considering Portugal is in eastern Europe, I’m not sure to understand what it proves.

Can’t we all just agree we are Western Eurasia

I mean, who even says that’s where Europe ends?
Stretch Europe further east and you’re in Western Europe.
Stretch Europe further south and you’re in Northern Europe.
Problem solved. You are now a developed country with a happy population.

Literally no one here in Romania says that we are central european, every romanian you ask would either tell you eastern european, or south-eastern european. We don’t have the same complex that Visegrad countries have.

It’s a map about the position of Romania in Europe, not about justifying how Romania is in Central Europe. Stop eating shit.

It’s not entirely wrong unless you start to include the French territories
If you draw a reasonable size circle around that point Romania is one of the few countries within it. Even in the other points, if you drew a reasonable circle, Romania still has a good amount of territory inside the Central European circle.
The problem is that the „true center“ of Europe and the „political center“ are not the same thing.

We tend to confuse political, economical, cultural constructs with geographical ones imo. From a geographical pov, Romania is as central as it gets in the european continent. Other classifications place it either in easter eu, southeastern eu, etc…
Either way, think we should cut back on the classifications and see ourselves part of a bigger thing, just like many of the ppl commenting here already stated…

[Geographic center in Europe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographical_midpoint_of_Europe) is actually not far from Romania, and one of the studies has it at the border of Romania with Ukraine.
If you draw a reasonable size circle around that point Romania is one of the few countries within it. Even in the other points, if you drew a reasonable circle, Romania still has a good amount of territory inside the Central European circle.
