These sites depend on Wikipedia for their information. And besides, having 40% of Europe's total landmass (Western Russia) as part of the Orient is nonsensical.

If it's really this much of an issue for you, I can change the color so it's just sometimes included in the Far East.
	23:56, 8 August 2024	2,754 × 1,398 (1.12 MB)	Siktira	No academic source considers the European part of Russia as a part of the Orient. Even Siberia and the Russian Far East is not considered a part of the Orient culturally due to its population being mostly European/Slavic. So this is all original research done by you. The original uploader of this map also did not include Russia in this map.
