If the EU is now considered to be a single country, then they've succeeded in conquering the European mainland! Something that Nazi Germany did all those years ago, though in that case it didn't last long.
I suppose in that case they should be congratulated for achieving something no-one has ever done before, not even Napoleon conquered the whole of Europe.
Perhaps that's why they changed the description from 'member countries' to 'member states'. The next thing (if none of them follow us out) is complete control of every 'member state' from Brussels, no ifs, no buts.
