The US is 50 countries in a trenchcoat really, some of which would go to war with eachother outside the coat.

Then Europe is a bunch of countries wearing a bikini and lots of accessories. There's no one part that covers all of it, some accessories strongly clash with each other and you have random bracelets everywhere.

A lot of European countries aren't in the EU. Turkey, the UK, Norway and a bunch more.
