They manage to do it for 50 states in the US just fine. It isn’t exactly rocket science. It’s just that individual countries in Europe all feel like unique little snowflakes.

I mean you're just looking at this from the wrong lens.

nobody in an EU member state thinks of themselves as a "state" in the EU, they're a country but in the EU

nobody would want the US kind of federalism. not to mention there isn't a single majority language aside from English for those that know it well enough

That’s the most uninformed view I’ve read about this in a VERY long time.

The US / Trump doesn’t even manage to renegotiate a trade agreement with Canada, although you speak the same language and your cultural proximity is about 95% - so maybe it’s time to get off your high horse buddy
