So how many members of the EU can you name?

If it is good enough to try it out on the USA, then it is good enough to try it out on the EU.

Does just being in Europe make you a part of the EU? Or is it some sort of official "club", that may change my asnwer.

Moving this to OT.

You don't become a an EU member just by being in Europe. Norway for example decided not to join.

I'm American, although I lived in Switzerland for 4 years. Man that's a horrible place.

The European Union aka the EU is a member club. You can be a member without having to convert to the Euro currency and not every country in the continent of Europe is a member of the EU. The United Kingdom for example is a member of the EU but we still use the Pound Sterling currency.

The EU itself isn't really anything like the USA. Its more like a country club of countries all bickering, bragging and trying to get one up on each other. To be honest its pretty useless if we're being fair. It doesn't help that the UK, France and Germany are always at each other's throats. Damn french :P

Not all EU member countries use Euro, the UK and denmark still use their old currency.

Sorry, but I was just broadly generallising to keep it simple.  My bad.

Pro-Tip: In Europe nothing is ever simple, thats why the EU fails :P

I don't think I can name many.

I live in Ireland and I can name 27 but thats because I recently took a European Studies lecture and had do to the same task.

every single one of them. yep i'm awesome. Although putting them on a map is hard, i can never work out how those north eastern european countries between poland and russia and finland go

I named 20 countries that I'm pretty sure are in the EU, although I've never seen a list of defined members or learned about it.
