The EU is an organisation which has 27 different independent countries as members. Ireland is one of those. This is different to the United States, where the 50 states are all part of one country. None of the US states are countries, and the USA is not an organisation. In the same way that Ireland is a member of the EU, the USA is a member of a number of organisations which have different countries as members, like the United Nations and NATO. There are many other organisations around the world which have independent countries as members.
