The two main countries in Western Europe are Germany and France. It would not be totally accurate to say that they dominate western Europe. There are other large and important countries there too.
France and Germany.
The two most densely populated countries in Western Europe are the Netherlands and Belgium. Both countries have high population densities due to their small land areas and large populations.
Belgium and Holland
These two countries are on the Iberian Peninsula, western part of Europe.
The Bay of Biscay touches two countries in Western Europe. It touches not only France, but Spain as well.
Austria is in central Europe, and would be regarded as being part of western Europe.

Democratic generally. However post WW2 these were influenced by the USA due to the Marshall Plan for economic support. Eastern Europe countries were often communist due toconnectionswith Soviet Russia.
There are two Western Europes. The fist form is a form that is not so generally thought of when one is referring to Western Europe. This region is one of the four regions defined by the United Nations. It includes the countries of Andorra, Monaco, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Austria. This would be a total of 10 countries. The second and most used form of Western Europe is the one you would get by splitting Europe in east and west, so basically this area accounts for half of Europe. The countries included in this region include all countries listed above in addition to Iceland, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Spain, Malta, Italy, Vatican City, San Marino, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Greece. This would be a total of 24 countries.
Europe is in the eastern hemiphere Europe straddles both hemispheres. What separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres are two lines of longitude: the Prime Meridian and the International Dateline. The Eastern Hemisphere is east of the Prime Meridian, but west of the I.D. The Western Hemisphere is west of the Prime Meridian, but east of the I.D. Now since the Prime Meridian goes through Europe, Europe is apart of both hemispheres, but more so the Eastern Hemisphere than the West. The only countries in Europe to be completely in the Western Hemisphere are Iceland, Ireland, Portugal, and Andorra. However, the P.M. also passes through the UK, France, and Spain, so those are trans-hemisphere countries. Most people incorrectly assume the Americas are the Western Hemisphere but this is not the case, though they are fully in the Western Hemisphere, they are not the only continents apart of it. In fact, most of West Africa is a part of the Western Hemisphere.
