Default Re: Northern and Latin moral codes

I think it is a bit simpler than that - it is the contrast of Mediterranean moral codes with North European moral codes, the latter being imbued with restrictive Protestant ethics. "Latin" here refers to those countries where a romance language [one that derives from Latin] was spoken.

Oddly, Romania does not usually come into this group!
