Good question. For now, I'm going to abstain from voting because I think I will learn a few things. To make a general guess, I think it largely depends on which specific cultures, especially among the Slavic ones. I think that some of the South Slavic cultures like Bulgarian and Macedonian, might be more like Romance cultures. Czeck, Slovak, Croat and Slovene, the last two being South Slavic, I would imagine having a lot of similarities to Germanic cultures, German speaking cultures in particular.
Germanic and Romance cultures seem far apart and tend to clash in many ways to me. Nonetheless, I think southern Germany and Northern France and Wallonia in Belgium might be the closest among Romance and Germanic.
As far as Romance and Slavic, I think the obvious choice for Romance closest to Slavic is Romania as it is a Romance enclave surrounded by Slavic neighbors. I think Bulgaria would be it's closest Slavic culture.
In terms of culture proper, Romance and Slavic are more similar to each other than any of them to Germanic.
Slavic and Romance are in general religious and emotional, while Germanic is more secular and rational. Germanic is also more individualistic and more industrious than both Romance and Slavic. The exceptions are czechs and frenchmen, which are more like Germanic.
I would say so. The only thing they really have in common with the Romance countries is Catholicism. The area that's now Poland was often ruled by Germanic people. I think a Pole is more like a German than like a Spaniard.
Oh another game of "let's compare European countries based on stereotypes, subjective perceptions and generalizations, it's so fun".
Yep, pretty much. But this type of threat is the meat and potatoes on here.
