The number of covered women is still very small relative to the general population of women, however I have a hard time not noticing since I nearly never saw one before moving abroad.
Namazgah Mosque, also known as the Great Mosque of Tirana, is the largest mosque in the Balkans (capacity of 10000) and one of the most important religious landmarks in modern Albania. Rising proudly near the city center, this architectural masterpiece blends Ottoman heritage with contemporary Islamic design, symbolizing both faith and cultural revival in post-communist Albania. The Namazgah Mosque stands as a testament to Albania’s historical ties with the Islamic world and its renewed spiritual identity. Beyond its religious function, the mosque represents unity, resilience, and the return of sacred architecture to the urban fabric of Tirana — a city once marked by decades of atheism under communist rule.
Recently did a survey over on r/SampleSize on the major regions of Europe, since these are a frequent cause of discussion here on reddit. These are the preliminary results after a bit over 60 responses.
The survey allowed respondends to pick multiple regions for each country if they found it to be fitting.
This sample size is of course still quite low, so if you want to take the survey yourself: https://forms.gle/zJurFZAQ8JMaFtQH8
I would love to see more responses from people into geography!
For now this is a breakdown of the five big basic categories. The survey includes a lot of other more granular categories (like balkans, scandinavia, baltics, ...), that I would love to follow up on, if there is interest. However for these I have not gotten enough responses yet for it to feel representative.
Important things to note:
The first map uses the total votes and assigns each country the region which obtained the most votes, while the pie charts show the vote distributions for each country. I think this shows very neatly why there often is so much discussion on these regions here on reddit. Like Germany being very split between central and western europe, or the balkans being split between southern and eastern europe.
For the choropleth maps, I normalized over the most answered response for each region. So 100% does not mean that 100% of respondends picked this country, but that this country was the most picked one in this particular region. (Although most of the time it was close to 100%)
Some of you super poors were complaining about the initial map so I made a second one
I think Greek people (the ones from Greece) have the best faces by a long shot.
