a continent united through trade, (mostly) shared currency, open borders, and a union that governs over member countries each having their own laws.
Now compare it to the US, united through trade, open borders, shared currency, and a federal government that governs member states that each have their own laws.
obviously there are major diffences between the two but for the sake of comparison in the “who put more effort into something” debate comparing US and Europe on the grounds of “single country vs many countries” is rather silly
Well the other person said you can compare based on surface area (wtf?) and population. Googling population of Europe gives me a number that’s twice the size of the USA. So per capita, assuming they’ve both given the same effort, the USA has given twice as much as Europe.

Come up with a metric that’s not silly then.
