This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It's a city-as-a-region; cities tend to be way more cosmopolitan (from cosmos: world, and polites: citizen - citizens of the world, so to speak) than any surrounding village. I bet if they had Amsterdam as region, it too would've been more attached to Europe.
Then again, EU and Europe tend to be conflated anyway, so these diagrams are poisoned via the well.
