Description of the Online Course: European Economic Area of the Western Christian Civilisation.

Europe is mainly composed of Christian Countries (Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox).

The European Countries that are part of the European Economic Area of the Christian Western Civilisation:

1. Member States of the European Union (EU) with Catholic or Protestant majorities: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, the United Kingdom (BREXIT) and Sweden
2. The EFTA States: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland
3. Other European Countries: Andorra, Monaco, and San Marino

Germany is the Central State of the European Economic Area of the Western Christian Civilisation, while France and the United Kingdom (until Brexit) have a significant influence.

The European Union is the largest trading bloc in the World (19% of the total world trade).

The European Countries that are not part of the European Economic Area of the Western Christian Civilisation are:

1. Countries with Orthodox majorities of the European Union (Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece and Romania) are integrated economically in the European Area of the Western Christian Civilisation, but from a cultural, religious and historical point of view fit better with the Orthodox Civilisation
2. Other European Countries with Orthodox majorities (Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, Macedonia, Russia, Serbia, and Ukraine) and consider as a part of the Orthodox Civilisation
3. The European Countries with Muslim majorities (Albania -62% Muslim-, Azerbaijan, Turkey) consider them as members of the Islamic Civilisation
