Euroring - The European Webring!

[xsolimini]

Hello!

So... Small context, I love webrings and in particular those themed around culture/regions of the world/etc... I already knew about the Spanish-speakers webring and Italian webring and wanted to see if a european one existed. And while browsing brisray's beloved webring list, to my surprise, no it doesn't! (same goes for a french speaking one, which I've opened recently. See here)

So... I decided to make one myself!

Welcome to Euroring, The European Webring!

I think it's pretty self-explanatory, lol! But I'll still explain anyway.

This is a webring dedicated to those who live in (or hold citizenship of) a country part of the "wider/broader definition" of Europe. Meaning, any countries part of one of the following categories:

• The European Union, its Outermost regions, Overseas countries and territories and Special cases (EU candidates too)
• The Council of Europe
• The European continent
• Countries considered culturally European (and close to the continent, geographically)

Join now!

Websites of ANY LANGUAGES are accepted, but please if your website isn't english make it easy for members to find the widget!

Three widget styles (for now, more coming soon):

Widget with country flag-map

Banner style widget

Minimal style widget

Are Australians accepted in this webring? They are allowed in Eurovison.

[devils]

Been looking for a national/continental webring for a while! I sent an application

Sounds Interesting, might join it if I find the time.

Truly the only source we can trust to tell us what is and isn't a European Country.

Added you a few hours ago, thanks for joining! 
Also your application reminded me about the topic I made here on melonland, so thanks!

will there be a button as well at some point? or maybe that defeats the purpose of the webring,idk hahaha but yeah just wondering.

also, does anyone know of any scandinavian/nordic webrings as well?

[ValyceNegative]

Woot! I'm already in the italian webring but I should join this one as well! Euro unite! X3
The flag widget is so creative and very well done, but huge for some sites! Say @xsolimini , if you manage to provide simple links for the previous/next and maybe even random I'd be very happy to make a small pixel widget for the webring members to use, something like the "pizza widget" I did for the italian one :3 (you can see it in action here: https://itawebring.altervista.org/widget.php )

Is there any chance at all you'll add Scotland to the list of countries for the ring? I'm Scottish, strongly support our independence and personally find being called British or "from the UK" insulting.

The best way I can describe it is it feels like if someone called someone from Canada, Quebec or Greenland "American".
While it's true on a purely geographic context (Scotland being on the island of Great Britain and all), it doesn't really represent us culturally at all.

I don't but I'd also like to know if someone finds any (or if someone wants one to be made) well Nordic, not Scandinavian :P

Scotland, Wales, etc they are countries by official definition yes?

[Melooon]

countries by official definition yes

Yep, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (though that last one is more vague) are all distinct countries; the UK is a group of countries in a slimier way to how the EU is a group of countries; its just been around so long that many people think of it as a single entity. Britain/British Isles is more like a regional name, in the same way Scandinavia is a regional name; its more of a place than a country ^^

Also people who are from Scotland and Wales don’t like to associate with being British because of people seeing it as an synonym for England.

And the Welsh, don't forget us!
