Just wondering as an American watching the EU pool resources and mostly work for the same common goals over my lifetime.

To clarify, I’m not saying that this would be a part of the United States of America, but a separate world power.

    There are at least a half a dozen countries in the EU with 1000 years of history behind them. I wonder how that weight of history blends with what the modern world requires.

      It’s not like these countries are stuck in the past. They evolved like the rest of the world.

      The city I live in was once the capital city of a duchy. It even had a palace that unfortunately burned down completely. There are talks to rebuild it. But it costs so much and nobody knows what to do with all the space it would provide.
