I'm convinced that if the overall culture shares a common moral system with humility as a central theme, it is a tight bond, overcoming language, customs & food. I define humility as a measure of if we value a Creator/Creation and treat one another with kindness and respect (New Testament Love). If one doesn't value a Creator, humans will not value the Creator's creation (earth, sky, space, humans, plants, water, etc).
Love, love the maps and looking forward to future parts.
TYVM for the reply, Jana. As a Christian person, I agree with all your points. However, note that perhaps the most important bit is this: "so-called ‘elites’ create artificial dividers which do not respect the cultural or linguistic preferences of the inhabitants. This is always due to corporate goals to plunder a region’s natural resources without sharing the profits with the locals."
In other words, the life-forms on the surface are entirely irrelevant to those 'elites' making the decisions about expropriating the natural resources of any given territory. This explains the urgency of the "one-worlders" - if the local surface-dwellers achieve autonomy from the globalist Borg Collective, their in-ground resources are removed from the globalists' pipeline. This is what we are witnessing right now in Gaza and in western Russia - globalist theft of local natural resources. Localists must heed the Star Trek lesson: resistance is NOT futile. The European farmers get it!
Resistance includes controlling your food and medical care services. "Localists" is a great descriptive word and much better than 'community' because its precise. I like that! I'll be borrowing that word.
BTW, I watched a fascinating video about a ice-breaking boat/ferry on the Moscow River. Super high-tech and of course, face scanner payment option! After 25 minutes of truly outstanding views and sunset, I start connecting dots of everything I read about Artic development and all the tech and geo-bulling going on...and realize its showtime! A beautifully produced ice-breaking, electric ferry ride on the Moscow river with all the riverfront devlpmt. It's a "move to Moscow to make your fortune in the Artic" video. Me thinks something is under all that ice. Control energy and food, control the world.
“So we see there is a clear division in Europe, and it seems to be on Germany’s eastern border, where the local language transitions from Romance/Germanic to Slavic.
That particular area has endured lots of strife over many years, and now I’m beginning to understand why. Clearly, language and culture are a factor.” <- I find this incredibly fascinating. As a lover of all things language, I believe it’s a leading cause of strife between countries/regions, second only to culture.
TYVM! Part 2 is in progress, wherein I postulate that the border between Europe and Asia is roughly a line from the apex of the Adriatic Sea to the apex of the Gulf of Bothnia.
Fascinating! It’s interesting to note that this line is a conceptual division rather than a physical, natural boundary.
As I understand, starting from the Adriatic Sea, the line follows a path northward through the eastern part of the Alps, which separates Italy from the rest of Europe.
From there, it runs through the Carpathian Mountains, a significant mountain range in Central and Eastern Europe that separates Romania from the rest of the continent.
The line then continues through the northern part of the Ural Mountains, which is often considered the traditional boundary between Europe and Asia.
This mountain range stretches from the Arctic Ocean to the northern border of Kazakhstan. The Ural River, which flows into the Caspian Sea, is sometimes also used as a natural border.
From the northern end of the Ural Mountains, the line extends further north to the apex of the Gulf of Bothnia. The Gulf of Bothnia is a northern extension of the Baltic Sea, situated between Sweden and Finland.
This line, (although not a physical demarcation)—represents a conceptual division between Europe and Asia, based on a combination of geographical, cultural, and historical factors.

Without a doubt! Yes, whole-heartly agree!

Glad to read what you're thinking.

Can’t wait for part 2!
Very well researched and articulated article.

I look forward to reading your writing on
Part 2.
At least none of this confused me. Oh wait....
