The EU is made of individual, sovereign nations with each their own language and culture and political system and laws and regulations.
So are US States. The language is generally going to be the same, but culture, politics, laws and regulations all vary dramatically between US States. Most laws that people deal with in their daily lives are State laws, not Federal.
Most of these countries have very little in common except the fact that they happen to be on the same continent.
You could say the same about a lot of US States. Texas and California are dramatically different and likely wouldn’t be in the same grouping if things were being built today.
The only thing that keeps them from being at war with each other is trade. And that’s where the EU comes in.
Have you seen the divide between the various US States? Texas 100% would go to war with California if given the chance.
