Hehe. Nope, sorry - Europe is made of separate countries with separate languages, customs, and ladies armpit hair-lengths. To make up for it I'll count China as one country despite going all over it; it being fecking huge and them speaking loads of totally different dialects.

I've been in Luis's stomping grounds before. Me and a friend walked across the border from El Paso into Juarez. We almost didn't get back out. It costs five cents to go from the US into Mexico, but ten cents to get back across. We had spent all our money except for one dime. Fortunately, a sympathetic Texan gave us a dime so we could both get across.
The funniest thing about the excursion was when we were trying to find the border again. We had taken a taxi to a large flea market a mile or two from where we walked across. We couldn't afford the ride back, so we had to walk. We got a little turned around and my friend asked this kid, "donde esta Texas." The look of utter disbelief on that kid's face was priceless. He just pointed over his shoulder with his thumb, as if to say, "that way. Big place... ya can't miss it."

EU uses one monetary system, has one capital, has a set of laws, and so forth. But whatever, this poll is over now since the poll parameters are all screwy.

IPH, my point is, just as France and Germany are Sovereign States of the EU, Texas and California are Sovereign States of the USA. It is called the Republic of Texas. It just so happens we travel under one passport, has one currency, and so forth. Much like the EU. You get issued a European passport, and use the euro, and so forth.
