I might be wrong here... just doing some analysis...

Slavic - Russia (and breakaway nations), Czech, Poland, Yugoslavia
(and breakaway nations), and some other Eastern European nations

Germanic - Germany, Austria, Swizterland, Belgium, Holland and
Scandanavian countries (Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland and Finland)

Latin European - France, Italy, Spain, Portugal

Mediterranean - Cyprus, Malta,  Greece

Anglo-Saxon - UK, Ireland (could have included USA, Canada, Australia/
New Zealand and Caribbean if they were in the same continent?) - Also
how about some African countries like South Aftrica and Asian
countries like India. They speak English.

Too detailed and confusing. Europe generally falls into 4 zones

Historic/political - East Europe (roughly your Slavic, but don't call
a Czech 'Slavic' or they will hit you) and West

Cultural - Northern (aka 'Germanic') and Mediterranean (all countries
with a Med coast plus Balkans).

Finland is a bit difficult to categorise because of its history. It is
ABR - Anything But Russian.

Nordic clearly with SWE, NOR, DEN, ICE. Language is different, but
society is very much the same. I wouldn't really combine us with any
other category, except EU, but that is pretty much all Europe now.- Hide quoted text -

Linguistically you can be combined with Turkey, can't you - just to
confuse list-makers!

Hungary and Estonia, to confuse the list-makers. If you can confuse
Raja any more...
