Who says France is part of Western Europe? I said that *I* find it easier to put all the western mainland of Europe (i.e France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Benelux, Switzerland, Monaco, Andorra, San Marino, Lichenstein, Italy & the VC) as Central Europe, with the name coming from the Time Zone; Central European Time, which all of them except Portugal observes, and anything that was traditionally eastern Europe (i.e. Poland, Czech & Slovak Republics, Hungary, Former Yugoslavian States, Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldovia, Greece & The Ukraine), along with Italy & the VC as Eastern Europe (although most of them observe CET rather than EET). The other European countries mention *I* consider Northern Europe (i.e Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia & Belarus) Note that my visualization does not nessessarily (I can never spell that) follow a straight North-South line.
