Well, yes. What you call "regional identity" is probably what I call "Identidad Foral" here. It is important to notice it as a difference because there cannot be one model to follow for all nations.

Concerning Eurasia or Eurosiberia i do not show a clear support for one or the other concept. I think that a Great Europe is the general direction we have to follow. Ethnically, Eurosiberia seems to be more manageable than Eurasia.
I agree with the map shown by Carnyx but why does it stop in the Ural zone? What happens with Siberia? Historically and geographically it is should be a component of a Great Europe (and the Russian Federation can only be entirely part of this Great Europe). I am happy to see that Caucasus appears on that map...

Concerning "Eurasia" and Caucasus, one must make a difference between what is Europe proper and Europe's areas of influence and interests.
