There's a number of competing methods, but all results seem to form a
meridian-wise line from Estonia to Ukraine, which is two big countries east
of Denmark. The method that appeals to me most, taking the center of
gravity of all land points rather than just extremes, points to eastern
Lithuania.
Which is a damn long way from Switzerland.
On the other hand, center of the EU is currently in Germany.

There's a different problem: prices of food, hotels, services, etc, seem to
be consistently 7-8 times higher than around where I live. This means
effective funds are divided by that much.
