Intro
The Latin-European cluster is formed by the European countries that speak a romanic language (except Israel, which is included here due to the major community that have been living in these countries and later moved to Israel).
The interesting factor about this culture is that at its core, it has some traditional and paternalistic tendencies that they are combining with a preference towards competitiveness.
We should also keep in mind that in this cluster we can see best what has been left of the Roman empire and these were part of the power centre of Europe back in the day.
The main countries we should keep in mind are:
- Belgium
- Spain
- France
- Israel
- Italy
- Malta
- Portugal
