Bulgarian graphic designer Yanko Tsvetkov has created a series of works in which he considered the representation of some nations about others. Each of these works is a map of Europe, created on behalf of representatives of a particular nation.
For example, from the French point of view, Germany is the best friends, Russia is Napoleon's dream, Poland is the country of plumbers, Spain is the country of flamenco dancers, Turkey is of course not Europe, Italy is noisy, friendly people, Romania is poor brothers, but Isn't Ukraine Russia?
In Italy, it is the inhabitants of the northern regions who consider themselves to be real Italians. For them, the southern regions are practically Ethiopia. France for Italians is the Empire of Carla Bruni. A strange dialect of Italian is spoken in Spain. Great Britain is a continuous Wembley Stadium. Czech Republic is a country of beer. Poland is the birthplace of the Pope. Hungary is the birthplace of porn stars (a hint of Cicolina and a developed porn industry). Russia is Gazprom. And Sweden is the country of Volvo.
As Italy is divided mentally into North and South, Germany into West and East. People there also dislike each other. Turkey is a source of labor for the Germans. Sweden is IKEA. Romania is a country of vampires. There are very cheap hotels in Spain. Poland is a country of vegetables. There is goulash in Hungary, and Prague in the Czech Republic. Well, the Baltic states for the Germans are former German lands.
Yanko Tsvetkov also did not neglect the Bulgarian view of the neighbors in Europe. Spain is a workplace for Bulgarians. France is a country of cheese and other perfumes. Ukraine is the ancestral home (from there the tribes of the Proto-Bulgarians came to the territory of Bulgaria). Austria is opera. Italy is Spaghettia. Well, Russia is Big Brother.
