LOL :-) OK, so it is a bad analogy. I don't believe that either
Costin or
I live in the EU.


I don't either. I live in Connecticut, USA.

I was always suspicious that something was amiss trying to integrate
proud countries with long individual histories, but it was confirmed
the first time I had to schelp from Terminal 4 to Terminal 3 at
Heathrow just so I could pick up the bus to Reading, which used to stop
at all 4 terminals, but stopped going to terminal 4 because EU regs
said the total trip was too long. The whole thing is something like an
hour. :/



I live in the UK, so can comment ;-) The thing that I spot about the EU is that is is often used as a scapegoat. When individual countries (or often the media) wants to shift blame it is convenient. This comes about because citizens of each country identify more with their own country than with the EU. (Note: I believe that the EU does a lot of good, but it'll never be my country)

Perhaps the parallel is that a Struts 'citizen' identifies more with the
Struts 'country' than the Jakarta 'union'. Of course one key difference is
that we don't have the individual governments at the country/Struts level.
