Best Answer

Really, every country in the European Union is European. Every country who joins the EU must have some sort of major connection to Europe, mostly by people or culture. Cyprus is the only country not geographically located in Europe (it is geographically located in Asia), however, it is politically, historically, and culturally a part of Europe. Turkey is also a candidate for membership and if they get accepted then they would most likely earn the title of most non-European country, as only 3% of its land lies in Europe.
