Are Poles Central Europeans, North-East Europeans or they are just East Europeans?

[Septentrion]

Just eastern europeans.

Correct

I feel like we poles are the most discussed ethnicity on TA but yet we are one of the most boring ones in terms of genetics

Possibly there is some connection between the two? Poles are more discussed precisely because they are seen as an example of an 'unambiguously European' group.

True, and probably also because of the fact that we are surrounded by extremely diverse neighbours from all sides while we ourselves remain boring as fuck

Transitional between eastern, central and northern Europe.

This is plot number 1 and all major internal migrations in Europe passed through.

Geographically speaking Poland lies in North-Central Europe, in the eastern-most part of Western half of Europe, thus directly bordering the Eastern half.

Our culture is mostly Central European and we've had a unique socio-political system in the past (neither Western nor Eastern, though having some features of both).
Our religion is Western European, language Central and Eastern European with a Western European alphabet, architecture Western European, cuisine Central (-Eastern?) European, genetically we're Central-North-Eastern European, politically Western European and we share many customs with other Catholic and also Eastern Europeans.

In mentality we're more individualistic than the Orthodox but less the the Protestants (so Catholic more or less) and strangely somewhat Southern-shifted.

Poland could thus probably serve as a good definition of Central Europe.

Extremely individualistic, similar to the Americans.

Extremely individualistic, similar to the Americans.

Actually I based it on one of Hofstede's graphs, personally I agree I think we're very individualistic.
