Germany, Greece and Russia excluded as everybody would automatically pick them due to the name recognition/stability.

I hope I didn't miss any.

Well, Austria, but I'm pretty sure it's wealthy enough to be excluded from Eastern Europe. Possibly the Czech Republic. Seems to be best put together (ie, not dominated by nutjobs, dictators, semi-dictators, or religious strife. Hungary doesn't seem objectionable either. Or Slovenia.

Austria is certainly not in the East.

I just listed all the countries from the CIA World Factbook under Central, Eastern, Southeastern.

Central Europe: Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia
Eastern Europe: Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Ukraine
Southeastern Europe: Albania, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, Romania, Montenegro, Kosovo and part of Turkey

....

If you had to live in a European country not in the West...

I agree with that, but I still chose Austria.

Austria is not Eastern Europe, neither is Germany, Greece is usually not considered it (European classifications go beyond geography) and I doubt most people here would actually choose Russia.

Just throwing something out there: in my geography class, we consider Greece, Austria, and Germany part of Western Europe.

Austria. All the others are horrible.

If you discount Austria, I'd live in Prague.

From what pictures I've seen, Prague is a beautiful city, so I'd choose the Czech Republic.

I chose Austria, then maybe Hungary and Poland.  Romania might not be too bad as a missionary.

I absolutely nothing about eastern Europe. However, there was a really hot chick from Albania in one of the episodes of the Sopranos, so I voted for Albania.

Ugh, Eastern Europe.

I'd choose either Poland (Roman Catholics) or Croatia but I leave towards the latter. I've always been interested in Croatia. Plus, it's close to Western Europe/Italy.

I like it here. Wink

Austria can be considered in between of West and East. Historically it has been Center-East, in the past 90 years it has been Center-West. Austria in German (Österreich) itself means "Eastern Realm".

Rural Romania isn´t bad as well ...

Anyway not counting Austria it's either Croatia or Czech Republic because they have the most emo bands.

Austria isn't Eastern.

One of the Baltic states or Poland.  It's been a few years since I've had a good reason to hate Russia, living in those places would put that right back on the front burner.
