The map above shows how much of each European country is actually located in Europe.

For example Denmark is just 2% because of the size of Greenland. Similarly only 23% of Russia’s land is in Europe, despite the vast majority of each country’s population actually living in Europe.

But there a few caveats to consider:

Original map created by reddit user YoghurtFieldsI was finally able to track down the origin of this map to this reddit post from 7 years ago by user YoghurtFields.

It struck me as amusing that both Czechia and Hungary have 10x the number of porn stars compared to Slovakia which is sandwiched between them.

Here is the data from the map, along with some speculation as to why those countries as so much higher than the rest:
