How does creation of an EU trading block unite Europe?
It doesn't unite Europe, but it does enable countries that are members of the EU to work closely together. They can trade easier with each other and have more trading power when trading with countries outside the EU. There is much more co-operation and countries have to maintain standards in order for it all to work, so that helps them work more closely with each other.

Who is allowed to be part of the EU?
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.
