    Austria is literally lumped into “Eastern Europe” on this map lol

        I don’t understand - Greece, EE and Austria are all clearly overlaid in top of each other in the same space. It makes no sense

          They labelled those parts of the connected landmass with those separate labels so people wouldn’t complain that some parts didn’t belong to the culturally arbitrary grouping.

          The point of the map is to demonstrate that Africa is larger than all of those geopolitically relevant areas, and those connected bits fit into the space so it was included. Don’t think too much about it.
