What are the forces that unite and divide Europe under the European union?

Not all European countries are members of the European Union, only a little over half. The European Union is a supranatural organization, thus having its own political and economic body. However, the governments of its member states still obtain sovereignty in their nation and exhibit their own laws and regulations on top of the EU's. Nonmembers of the EU still have relations with the EU, except for Belarus. Belarus is constantly sanctioned by the EU for its poor human rights and Dictatorship government. There are debates throughout the EU on issues and stances that the EU should take, just as there is in any form of government. Most of the dividing is on who should join the European Union. The most heated debate that has been ongoing for decades is the accession of Turkey into the European Union. The UK argues that Turkey is essential because they see Turkey as being able to help with the European Debt Crisis (as the EU needs all the help it can get), but France and Germany don't want Turkey in the EU because they do not see it as a full-European country in the first place, Turkey is a Muslim nation, and Turkey will eventually pass Germany in population and form the majority of the political body of the European Union.
However, by being a supranatural organization, the European Union heavily unites Europe. All the members are economically and political tied to each other, so they truly cannot go to war with one another even if they wanted to (which was the initial intention of the formation of the European Union, known then as the European Coal and Steel Community). Members of the EU also help each other out with internal problems. For example, Germany has been bailing out many countries, most notable Greece. All the countries in the EU have a free-travel statement, meaning citizens of the countries in the EU can travel visa-free into any other EU country and live wherever they please in the EU. There is a free-trade agreement within the EU and even with some nonmember states. The European Union also has a universal currency, the Euro, which all members are required to adopt in a reasonable amount of time (with the exception of Denmark and the United Kingdom).
