Cultural area

Cultural area is a group of nations, states, or societies that share similar customs, ideas, languages, and beliefs. For example, in Europe there are several cultural areas, including Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Northern Europe. Each of these regions has its own unique culture, language, and beliefs. People can tell which cultural area they belong to by looking at the language they speak and the customs they follow.
