The European Union is an organisation for countries in Europe, so the US could not join. There are over 50 countries in Europe, 28 of which are members of the European Union. There is no reason why the US would even want to join the European Union. It would make no sense for them to do so.
Albania is not a member of the organisation known as the European Union. It is a European country, being part of the continent of Europe.
Maybe you were asking why are only certain countries in the European Union? The European Union is a political and economic organization consisting of 27 countries in Europe. To join the European Union countries must have fairly strong economies, be democratic, have abolished the death penalty and other cruel practices and have low(ish) levels of corruption.
People do not join the European Union. Countries do. It is an organisation of countries, not of people. As a result of countries joining, people are living in countries that are in the European Union and can be called its citizens.
No. Europe has about 50 countries. Only 28 of those are members of the European Union. Some countries are not interested in joining. Then there is the rest of the world outside of Europe, which will obviously never join.
Countries that are located in Europe or are considered Europeanized countries can join the European Union. Europeanized countries are countries whose culture is adopted from Europe and that have a large European population. For example, Iceland, Norway, or the Ukraine can join the EU since they are all located in Europe, and thus are European countries. But the United States, Canada, or Israel could also join the EU since they are all Europeanized countries. They must also be democratic, with an economic system that is compatible with that of the other EU countries.
Eastern European countries need to adopt more Western values to join the EU. These countries have already been doing so since the breakup of the Soviet Union.
Countries are part of the Union. They apply to join. They are not elected to join. Countries can elect people to represent them in the European Union after they have joined.
Ten countries joined the European Union in 2004.
19 of the 28 European Union countries use the Euro, having changed from their original currencies. Other European Union countries are also due to join it in the coming years. Some smaller nations that are not in the European Union also use it.
It is independent and like many countries in Europe, it does not want to join the European Union. It does have strong relations with the European Union and has many agreements with them around things like trade.
It does not want to join. Just under half of the countries in Europe are not members of the organisation that is known as the European Union. A lot of them do not want to join. Belarus is one of those countries.
