the EU

Hello. Thank you for trying to improve the accuracy and legibility of Wikipedia with your edits.

Unfortunately, you seem to have a misunderstanding of the nature of the European Union. Specifically, it is NOT a sovereign state, United Nations member, or a 'country' by any other definition, nor does it currently have any official plans to become one.

It's an intergovernmental organisation, more like NATO, or the Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement. It has members that are sovereign states i.e. 'countries', just like how the United States of America is a sovereign state and Canada is a sovereign state. So just like how it wouldn't be very useful to describe Aberdeen, Maryland for example as 'a NATO city' rather than 'a US city', it's also much better to talk about cities, towns, businesses etc. in the EU with reference to which actual country they're in (Germany, France, Italy, etc.) rather than saying nothing more specific than that they're in a country that is part of the EU.

Although the members of the EU are sometimes officially called 'member states', that doesn't mean they're federated states like the states of the USA. They're all full countries, with their own national identities, languages, cultures, economies, international relations, histories, constitutions, kings and queens or presidents, militaries, currencies (in some cases), legal systems, borders, embassies in other countries, and so on. All 27 of them are full voting members of the UN, unlike the EU as a whole, and each is considered a fully sovereign state. Some of them, like Germany and Austria, are even federal states just like the US and Canada, and are composed of their their own states, so you would say that Rhineland-Palatinate for example is a state of Germany in the same way that Maryland is a state of the USA, with its own state laws, state government, state boundaries etc.

I hope you find this helpful when you're browsing Wikipedia in future. Have a good day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adam Dent (talk • contribs) 09:53, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
