This makes me wonder how does the graph diagram wind up looking like. Most nodes seem to end in a Germany-Switzerland-France loop

    And then there's the edge case of England going literally outside of the continent, with Australia

    That's because Brits would rather move to the literal other side of the globe where everything wants to kill you than learn a second language.

    The other side of the world: for when you really need to get as far away from it all as you can.

    Right, I keep forgetting Russia is still partly in Europe

    Oddly enough, so is Kazakhstan! By most definitions of the Asia-Europe border, Kazakhstan has a chunk on the European side that's actually still bigger than most European countries

    Some countries like Turkey are part of both Europe and Asia on technicalities. They straddle the border so they get to be part of both.

    Then there's Russia, where the population is mostly in Europe, but the land is mostly in Asia.

    The European part of Turkiye is still about twelve million people as well, it's not like Russia but it is still a pretty substantial number of people. It'd be the 12th-most populous country in Europe if it was independent

    It's not as out of balance as Russia though. European Russia accounts for about 15% of Europe's entire population. It's a huge area, a lot of which is rural, but its population density of 27/km^2 is almost 10x as high as the population density of Siberia at 2.8/km^2. Siberia is 13.1 million km^2, European Russia is just under 4 million km^2.

    Siberia is normally thought of as a snowy wasteland, but it also includes Russia's entire Pacific coast, including Vladivostok where in the summer the average highs through July, August and September are all above 20C. That's warmer than Edinburgh. Its winters are colder, but they're not much colder than Moscow.

    i feel there's a big difference in how the parts of the countries culturally relate to each other, too.
    Like i'm not aware of any real difficulty getting between european and asian Turkey, whereas with russia it's 1) a massive distance, 2) there's a big fuckoff mountain chain in the way, and 3) the fuck are you going to do in siberia?

    sorry to be nitpicky, but it's only a 2-cycle, switzerland and france. but most of the countries get there via germany.

    it would be interesting to look at the induced directed acyclic graph of the original graph's connected components.

    Most popular coloring is deceiving: It could mean 90% emigrate to that country or 10% do. Also this map totally neglects how many stay in that country.

    To visualize the data completely (not on a map unfortunately) one could choose a chord diagram.

    It's deceiving in multiple ways. Like of course more Romanians emigrate to Germany than to Belgium or Luxembourg, Germany is many times larger. They should add the to-country base population and/or surface to the equation.
