You touch an interesting question: Where are the eastern boundaries of Europe? How do we define Europe?

1) Geographically? Ural, Caucasus, Bosporus? And what in-between? Is Chechnia still Europe? Kalmykia?

2) By religion? Do we have one? Does it include all Russia to Wladiwostok?

3) By culture? Do we have one? A common one?

4) Politically? All members of the European council? All members of the EU?

5) Economically? The EURO zone? This would nicely exclude Denmark., an idea that is not to the liking of everybody.

6) Via soccer? Azerbaijan plays in the European championships - is it Europe?

7) By law?

Why does the coming EU constitution doesn't say where we begin and where we end?

As it appears today we leave the question open and invite every nation to join - the beginning of the end.
