Poland is at the point were west / est force equalize so it's normal they don't go in any direction. To me the british one is stranger as is not the same as any of it neighbors (even across the channel / sea).

It's also interesting that the average salary in Denmark is about 1.5 more than the average salary in Sweden.

I found long comparisons very interesting. Re. economy we always focus on quarterly growth, at best annual growth, but I always found interesting to look at figures on a larger scale.

Eg. GDP for the Eurozone countries (2019 vs 2000, i.e 19 years)

(only Eurozone countries to avoid the FX effects who can bring some biases)

Interesting to see that Italy's GDP in 2019 is more or less at the same level as in the year 2000, whereas the growth of the Eurozone (11 founders) is 13% in the same period.

Ireland being the big winner

Is there a map that shows the directions of the hot and the cold water in taps in each country?
I noticed that it's not the same in different places.
I'm used to having cold water to the right and hot water to the left. How it is in your home?
