Answer 2

The European Union is not a country it is a financial agreement to use the same cur ency through out the European nations (The UK is not a part of the EU)

The United States is still a larger economic power than all the European nations together.

If you are thinking in a military sense the EU is not joined that way each nation has its own independent military. If you were to combine those forces they also would be smaller and less equipped than The United States Military.

The US has many more natural resources, larger land mass the workers of the US work a longer work week and get paid better than the workers in Europe.

Answer 3

Assuming all the members of the EU constituted a country like the individual states constitute the USA, I would definitely say USA (for now) for the following reasons:

1) The EU has failed to ratify a constitution.
2) The EU does not (at this time) negotiate international treaties collectively.
3) One vote is enough to cancel out an EU resolution. It is not majority rule.
4) Do not confuse the German economy with the European economy. When you remove the German economy from economical date, the results are dismal.
5) The EU does not provide for its own defense.
6) The EU can not force member nations to adopt its currency.
7) When foreign investors look at the United States we are cohesive (they know for better or worse what they will get) when investors look at the EU Croatia is dodgy while the UK is completely above board.
8) Europeans do not want to lose their nationalistic identities.
9) The EU has failed to liberalize the labor movement thus hampering its gross domestic out put.
This is discussed in great deal in The Economist this month. For additional information I would suggest you start there.

Answer 4

Your question is based on the condition clause, "If European Union is a country." Since the European Union is not a country, but a confederation of countries, the condition is not met, and your question is meaningless.

Answer 5

The European Union, is a Union of countries!
Unlike the union of STATES in the US!
And you do not state what strength!

Answer 6

I can't realistically see that happening. Attitudes would have to substantially change very slowly over a long period of time for a single country of Europe to be even remotely viable. Humans are instinctively tribal, some more than others but national identity is held very dear by the people of all the nations of Europe. I think you'll find it impossible to take that away. Maybe one day the whole world will be just one, just like on Star Trek but that's all still fiction.

Answer 7

I am afraid that if the E.U. was a political entity then it would be the largest economic power on the planet (I.M.F and World Bank). As well that, all the European Nations put together have a military strength which is significantly larger than that of the U.S.A.

Answer 8

The European Union is a "Union" of the countries in Europe and is not a country by itself,unlike the US...but in terms of strenght, i guess it depends what youre referring to....

Answer 9

US is still stronger, and no European Union is not a country.

Answer 10

Stronger in which sense? Economically? Military Strength?
