This new Region needs a name. Eastern Europe is the default, but it seems a bit...awkward to me. New Europe is another idea, but I'd like to avoid Europe. Any ideas? If worse comes to worse we can use Eastern Europe. |

Poland can be classified as 'Baltic' because it's on the Baltic Sea. It's just not a 'Baltic State.' There's a difference. In any event, what's not included is Hungary and Romania, which aren't in the Balkans. Fun. |

Why is Greece in this new region? Or Cyprus or Albania for that matter? Ukraine and Belarus have more to do with Eastern Europe then those three. While Norway, Sweden and Finland are as much east as Greece and Albania. Anyway, new name...Eastern Europe is the only fitting name considering the bulk of the nations in it. However I don't want to be associated with Eastern Europe, so how about.. Europe Minor?..or Eastern Frontier? following on from New Europe...how about Nova Europa? Makes a little sense, considering UEFA changed the UEFA Cup to Europa League. Or...Balkatica? |

The main reason is because the present Europe region is a clusterfuck. Too many countries in too small an area. Having one super-crowded forum was... odd. |

Why don't we throw Ukraine and Belarus in and call it Eastern Europe, then the rest of Europe can be called Western Europe? I never quite understood why Belarus and Ukraine were split from Europe in the first place... |

I think Ukraine and Belarus should be included, for the sake of completedness. It's not like it's hard to do inter-forum cooperation, anyway, we do it all the time, so Russia can still push them around and all. |

Simply do what Rome did: Split it into two, with Western and Eastern Europe and then name everything in the Balkans, ummm... How about the Balkans? And make them geographically correct, as you would see when you look at a Wiki map. |

The Balkans under Rome was Illyrium. Over the Danube was Dacia, and after and around Dacia was Sarmatia. Over the Rhine was Germania. l2histree. |

I was referring to how they just sort of sliced Europe down the middle, but I guess it would be too easy to refer to Western Europe as Western Europe, Eastern Europe as Eastern Europe, the Balkans as the Balkans, and Eurasia as Eurasia. |

That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard. "Let's put Ukraine and Belarus in Europe because some idiot 300 years ago arbitrarily drew a line on the Urals and ignore the logically-designed geopolitical regions." |

What the hell is it going to take to get you to condense all of your numerous postings, one consecutively after another, into one single reply? |
