"one europe" except for all the other bits of europe

[amunozo]

Well, isn't it the same for America? America is more than the US. I know the name Americas is used, but that is more like an afterthought.

[marliechiller]

I dont think this is the same. If you started referring to North America as a name for the USA then it would be equal

[SideburnsOfDoom]

Indeed, except for the bits of Europe which chose not to be part of the main part of Europe. That's how it works.

And by "it" we mean both "free choice to be part of the union or not" and "legal jurisdictions".

I don't think you know how continents work. It's a bit like saying Canada isn't "North American".
