Many countries have traditions of painting, coloring or otherwise decorating eggs for Easter. This was a common pagan spring tradition, and has been incorporated into the christian traditions of many countries.
Additionally, many non-christian countries have begun practicing the pagan trappings of christian Easter traditions. Chocolate eggs and bunnies can be seen in many countries where Christianity is not practiced widely.
Simple dyed eggs at Easter are common throughout Europe, North America, and Australia. Intricately decorated eggs, made using batik, painting, applique and other techniques, are common throughout Eastern Europe, particularly among Slavic peoples.

What is eastern?
Eastern Orthodoxy is just as old as Catholicism. Before 1054 there was simply the Church. No separate denominations or anything. Afterwards, the Catholic and Orthodox churches were formed and later differences in tradition and theology arose. For example, the Catholic Pope is infallible, the Orthodox use a different calendar to calculate Easter, and the Orthodox still use tradition Byzantine style when painting their icons. There are many differences and yet both churches hope to reunite someday to restore the Christian faith to it's once universal state.
