An interesting map showing that Greece and Israel are cultural "islands" in the middle of the numerous cultural zones. We see also that there is no cultural zone mentioned as "Orthodox Europe". Apparently, there is no specific combination of values that could account for the existence of such a cultural zone(?) Or, instead we can understand that the cultural impact of Communism was stronger than the Orthodox cultural particularity. And given the fact that the group of former communist regimes consists of both Catholicism and Orthodoxy, that may explain why the cultural "Orthodox Europe" is missing on this map.
