Central Europe is a region between Eastern, Southern, Western and Northern Europe. The region is variously defined, but may include Austria, Croatia (alternatively placed in Southeast Europe), the Czech Republic, Germany (alternatively placed in Western Europe), Hungary (alternatively placed in Southeast Europe), Lithuania (alternatively placed in Eastern Europe), Poland (alternatively placed in Eastern Europe), Slovakia (alternatively placed in Eastern Europe), Slovenia (alternatively placed in Southeast Europe) and Switzerland (alternatively placed in Western Europe). Only Switzerland and the microstate of Liechtenstein are not EU member states but share close economic and cultural ties with the region but also have stayed away largely for economic and historical reasons. It is a large and important region stretching from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Adriatic in the south. It is also home to some of Europe's and the world's most prosperous economies and cities. Lastly, it includes the fabled mountain range of the Alps which acts a transition zone between the Latin, Germanic and Slavic cultures which all call the region home. It is heavily influenced by Gothic Germanic culture which finds its way into Eastern Europe.
