Euro Centric

EuroCentric
Centered or focused on Europe and the Europeans


I disagree on "Multilingual". It clearly isn't used in this sense. Perhaps you aren't EuroCentric enough?

I suggest to add "Europe" meaning Europe excluding all former communist countries like Poland, Hungary, Romania, Russia, Latvia ....

''Why? What´s wrong with those countries? Aren't they european enough for you?


When we draw a world map, we put Europe nicely in the upper middle, and position the rest of the world around it.

Well, it kind of works out conveniently that way, so that no countries are cut in half at the edges of the map, doesn't it? --MikeSmith

But aren't there more islands in the Pacific Ocean than the Atlantic? So the Atlantic would make a pretty good cutting-off point wouldn't it? Then again, we've put the InternationalDateLine? in the Pacific. --NickBensema

Pacific centred world maps are nearly as common as atlantic centered ones in NewZealand. Putting south at the top is still rare though. --PeterMaxwell?
