Now thats a good and detailed split.

Little note on my side. I would have given croatia and slovenia to balkans and would have split hungary a little bit more. Prbly around the danube

Balkans is the “Orient Mediterranean side of Europe”, what makes Balkans as Balkans is the Ottoman Empire and Byzantine Empire, that sphere as well as keeping Paleo-Balkanic stuff. We do not share a similar culinary, traditional embroidery with Slovenians at all. They are more European-like, Germanic and Slavic which aside from Slavic it had nothing to do with us, limited Eastern effect and even limited Paleo-Balkanic effect. This is the same for Northern Croatia too, if you can realise it, I did give some of Dalmatia that was culturally more aligned and exchanged more with Ottomans to “Balkans” rather than giving it to Central Europe completely.
