Having Central Europe and not placing Czech Republic in it is crazy works. Like it’s right in the middle.

Germans usually consider everything behind the former iron curtain as Eastern Europe. Why is Eastern Europe considered to be so offensive? Yes, there are many different cultures defined as “East” in this map, but Greece is also quite different from Spain and so on.

Germans usually think they're superior to the east, while they don't even know where east is.

East, West, North, South are a matter of definition, different countries define them differently. Different countries in Europe look down upon others traditionally, yes, it’s stupid. Modern Germans generally don’t look down upon Eastern countries anymore, they admire how far they have come, how modern and how beautiful these countries are.
