This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

'Attachment to Europe' appears maximum in countries neighbouring Russia

LOL true. But you can hardly blame Eastern Europeans. It is also the area with the most support for a united EU army.

Also countries that received big financial benefits and saw great economic improvements.

Came here to say this, lowest attachment in countries that pay in the most, highest attachment in countries that receive the most.

It's not perfect, some German areas around the Rhine seem to have a high attachment, as well as Luxemburg, but there is an undeniable pattern.

Not really, Germany is a much larger net contributor than France, yet European identification is a bit stronger. Also Bulgaria vs Romania etc. The correlation you are proclaiming is actually not that strong.
