Sources[edit]
Data for centroids (geometrical center) of countries from:
- [1], and thence:
- Geographical centre#Geographic centres in Europe: detailed discussion for some of them.
Conclusions[edit]
The coordinates from Mihai and GDevs are coincidental with four exceptions:
- Bosnia &H and NMacedonia not available in the first case
- Andorra is simply (slightly) different
- Georgia is completely different (may correspond to US state)
However, GDevs has 245 while Mihai has 183 countries (in prevision of futures uses for extra European countries). Thus, I choose the third one, the one from GDevs.
Example of use[edit]
User:Sobreira/Geography#Demographics
- To be able to represent Russia on a European map, I move the coordenates from the centre to Moscow (55.755833, 37.617222).
