This approach of finding a centroid seems to give good results. For Belgium there is not a large difference with the geographic centroid, which is expected for a densely populated country. For Norway it is much closer to the population area's.

The city population centroids have been found a step by step process. This allows to see how the centroid changes after a city has been added. In general the largest city dominates the position of the centroid. And if that city is also close to the geographic centroid, it will be the centroid in the end (Belgium, Spain). If a large city is surrounded by other cities, then one of those can become the centroid (Norway, Switzerland). The layout of motorways can influence the selection between two cities (France).
