This article mentions a few interesting characteristics of European countries:
https://unherd.com/2020/01/both-brexiteers-and-remainers-know-nothing-about-europe/ E.g:

Because they’re not keen on the idea of dying for their country they assume other liberal nations are like them — and yet the Swedes and Finns do not feel the same way and are positively gagging for a chance, way ahead of any other non-ex-Soviet European state."
