This map is from a German point of vue. By the way, the original map is written in German, so it is very subjective. Someone for Switzerland for example has nothing in common with Hungary but a lot with France.

By Central Europe they put Germany, Austria and its former conquest union, and Poland for vital space.
By Souther Europe, the Meds.
By Southeastern, the former Ottoman conquest.

Slavic customs since ever - everyone could inherit, even women, all equally, unlike in German Sallic law in which women went less.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neminem_captivabimus

>In the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth it was one of the basic rights, stating that the king could neither punish nor imprison any member of the szlachta without a viable court verdict. Its purpose was to release someone who had been arrested unlawfully. Neminem captivabimus had nothing to do with whether the prisoner is guilty, only with whether due process had been observed.

Depends on the local rocks.

This is the most pretty we have, but it varies a lot. This is in the Northern mountanous areas.

Usually the "bricks" are much much larger, and it varies with the latitude, and resemble regular 1-story houses with very thick walls.

In the south they are full-on arab-looking, all white and flat, but still made of hardened clay bricks, I think, not mud.

>>66486790
what's szlachta? It sounds similar to our "žlahta" which is colloquial for relatives

>>66487754
nobles

>>66487754
Szlachta means "Nobility".
Szlachtować = slaughtering.

Germans literaly thought we call them that way because of slaughter.

By pretty, I meant unique.

It varies a lot by city, though. Each city has it's own distinct style. We even have a small park-museum with kid-sized houses from all over the country all laid out together. It's pretty nifty.

Yeah, those are made from schist, and are only found in the highest mountains here.

The south is made up of two main areas: Algarve, the southernmost has full on Arab-looking stuff, except with some paint, sometimes.

>>66488225
And the Alentejo, which is right on top, that has south-European roofs, for more agriculture-based areas and less fishing based areas.

The north has more granite-y landscapes.

I was trying to find a catalogue, but it's proving hard to sift through house-rentings sites.

Brazil has a couple of towns colonized by people from different parts of Portugal that have a mix of houses close together, which is pretty funny.

Croatia is obviously Southeastern Europe, More than Greece actually. I think we should say Greece is Southern Europe in spite of all the problems, because still it is a country of great culture there and saying they all the same as Serbs and Albanians is totally wrong.

>>66489806
Well. Yeah, that's sort of the point.

You'll see more southern architecture in Brazil since it was more efficient at getting rid of the heat.

The few northern architecture you have (bare stones and without paint) is a bit weird because your stones are a bit redder, so you get these nice medieval-looking castles with a weird tint to them.

Yeah right. What would be closer then?

Can somebody here tell me what are these partitions good for? What is behind all this discussion, where to put walls to hide behind?

Tell you what, NO NATION OR GROUP OF NATIONS ARE RELEVANT IF THEY CLOSE IN ON THEMSELVES. Just your geographical position means shit, not only that, you're mixing culture, religion, ethnicity to make categories.

But how do you categorize Poland: more slavic or more catholic, more ex communist or more central (geographically)? You're hitting yourselves over the head with all these delimitations you're trying to set.

>>66491130
For example I'd argue that it's quite easy to categorize Nordic countries as being a distinct group of nations. We share history, values, social structures are quite similar, lutheran etc.
