I wouldn’t have that expectation if I were you. Based on how both our comments got downvoted I suspect the beautiful Lemmings on here still live with a “no! I don’t accept, we’re better than this”
Yet once you go to those (especially orange) areas and you see how flamingly openly full racist and white nationalist those people have become in the last 10 20 years, it becomes harder to think of a culturally aligned Europe.
People forget this post WWII near 90 year on continuous peace time was extraordinarily exceptional and not how Europe typically fares through a century.
Lmao, like strong nationalism isn’t being used to drive division
That’s not Europeans, only EU.
What a stupid propaganda piece
I’m surprised that Sicilians are more connected to Country than region.
So, not Europe, but specifically The European Union.
Oof, thats gotta hurt for the UK, now that they’re part of Antarctica.
Budapest: HELLO BROTHERS!! I LOVE YOUUUUUU!!
The rest of Europe: Fuck off, dude, we just live in the same neighborhood.
A tiny bit of context:
Hungary just had national elections ~2 months ago, finally pulling the handbrake and getting rid of the previous government’s 16 year old reign. The previous PM (Orbán) had been inching closer to Russia every year, and this year the elections were (among many other things) basically about showing loyalty to Europe instead of taking the final step on the slippery slope and becoming a Russian lapdog again. Since the opposition was the strongest in the capital city, chances are the (only?) red colour on the map represents this, and not Budapest’s all-time excitement over the EU.
Also, historical Hungary used to be larger at one point in history, which could (partially?) explain the regional colours in Western Romania and Eastern Austria. Not even necessarily because of the nationality in mind, but it certainly had an influence over culture and politics.
I’m not an expert on Germany, but their regional divide might be in part due to the East-West divide after WW2. Please correct me if I’m wrong, since there’s a good chance.
(also, OP, I think you wanted to spell ‘feel’ in the title)
Hungary = Mongol horde
You’re indeed wrong about Germany, the different attachments don’t follow the iron curtain at all. Both west-and east Germany have regions with different attachment color.
Most of the regions with a strong regional attachment seem to correspond to the larger independent states before German unification in the 19th century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_of_Germany. Mecklenburg, Wurttemberg, Bayern and Upper Saxony are all 4 recognizable on the map of the op. The bit below Denmark was ruled in a personal union by the Danish monarch before the unification wars.
France tried their best to split Saarland off from Germany several times, which might explain their strong regional attachment.
Well, at least I was right about me being wrong. I guess it’s Friday again.
Sorry, and thanks for the correction! Today I learned.
The image notes that the survey was conducted in 2021. Would that change your assessment?
Haha, lol, I didn’t even notice that : ). TBF it’s been a topic for a few years already, but in that case it might have been a different reason just as well.
I think you were right about opposition being strongest in the capital My experience is big cities are more pro-european in general and rural villages generally more ‘pro-region’, I don’t know about Hungary in particular but i wouldn’t be surprised if that were true there too, not just since Orbán left but also in
20222021Definitely for at least decades, if not for eons. Obviously there are exceptions, but on average the countryside is just not as open and accepting as the average large city dweller.
You see this with support for progressive / conservative policies too. Must be countless studies into what the cause is for this effect.
Also known as a map of narrow minded people. Eerily accurate.
Why does this make people narrow minded?
It overlaps significantly with areas where there are strong nationalist and sometimes separatist movements.
What a surprise!
The map is wrong for Germany. It’s their car.
They should be more interested in their public transport.
PS Fuck Merz.
the car, the dog, perhaps their football club, their partner, kebab prices, gasoline prices and then maybe their country.
UK out here like “Doot doo doooo, de doo doot . . . Bahp bah be dah doot. . . Pfftfthfyh . . . Well, guess I’ll go sort my pens again.”
Hmm, I just realized that the Architect Sketch could also work as an interpretation of BrExit:
Based on a misconception, a complete meltdown and burning of bridges, followed by whiny begging to be let into the fold.
There isn’t too much or outspoken whiny begging in the UK, but the sentiment is definitely there.
Of course Åland feels most “regional attachment”, they even have their own flag and ccTLD…
They’re basically Swedes under occupation by Moomin trolls
The inventor of the Moomins was part of the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland, just like all of Åland’s inhabitants are.
Not sure what ccTLD is, but they also have their own stamps and their own government. They are largely autonomous.
…for now…

As always, Switzerland being radically neutral.
I am pretty sure that attachment data in some places is split like 40% Europe / 50% country but this map doesn’t show this nuance.
You can extrapolate from the other maps. Too bad they are so small though.
Ireland would probably be “region” if it was more fine-grained, nobody is attached to their 30-year old EU NUTS2 demographic division, they’re attached to their counties.
Or at least Cork would be.
