But if the country with the white-red flag (you can see my flag

And the Balkan countries have many differences but we are still a powerfull block.
And your Czech with Slovakia haven't got many similarities? Austria and Hungary? So if it is Czech,Slovakia,Austria,Hungary and Poland maybe
is more close to the Soviet one but the others are similar enoughHungary and Austria are very different from the rest, because they are non-Slavic but also very different from each other. And Poland is not really close to Czech Republic, maybe closer to Slovakia, but it is overall very conservative and catholic, whereas we are an atheistic society. I for one am very shameless. If I grew up in Poland, I wouldn't have lived that way....

Uhm, I don't think we are really THAT different. Austria-Hungary has left some imprint on all of these countries and we indeed share lots of traditions and other cultural things (cuisine etc.). Take our funny central european easter traditions as an example.
I think it's just that CE nations simply don't have the need to vote for each other.

Austria-Hungary was too big and too diverse and broke up under all their differences..... too many languages. Slavic, Hungarian, Romanic and Germanic languages, how was that supposed to sustain?
It's a shame most of these countries don't know the languages of their neighbours. If you look at former Yugoslavia and Bulgaria or former Soviet Union, they understand each other still very well..... the Northern Germanic languages in Scandinavia, except for Finland, also help tying these countries to each other....
But the cuisine of Central Europe is the best......

The Polish language is quite similar to Slovak and Czech. I can understand about 70% (or sometimes even more) of what they say.

Basically the main think is that they are neighboors. Greece, Bulgaria and Romania foe example havwn't got any simularities in their language or culture (well maybe some with the Bulgarians but still not many) and we actually speak a language and have a culture very different from the else countries in the Balkan block but we are in.

may the best song win, i'd rather see a country win 5times in a row if they have the best song BUT what countries will benefit ESC the most imo are :
France/Italy/Uk/Spain. first : Roma, Paris, London or Madrid sounds kind of "prestigious". A second big five win could finally shut up all the papers saying that ESC is crap and everything we know + light up the fire for the contest in the country (maybe France or Italy deserves it more in that case).
Eastern Country : Belgium, The Netherlands, Portugal, San Marino. Like, we don't really have a bunch of friends like you guys to give us free points but we made it (anyway, the 2nd Place for The Netherlands and the 1st for Austria in 2014 shows that everything is possible- btw hope Belgium won't really win, i'm afraid to see the battle between VRT and RTBF… they showed us that it's possible to make something together as we saw in the jesc but for a bigger show?)
Central one : for the fact and light up the fire too (Czech, Hungary, Slovakia and let's say Poland)
Ones that deserves just because i decided to , they don't really need it but i'd like to see them win once : Georgia, Malta, Iceland, Cyprus (+/- Little countries and imo it's a matter of time as these ones already sent good entries in the past, they got the ESC taste, just have to push their game up to win)
