The European Union

The European Union is an organisation of 27 nations. Its original aim was to form an economic union but, as time went on, the EU developed into a far greater organisation.
Today the EU is developing into a political union, trying to bring together the democratic countries of Europe. It is the biggest trading bloc in the world, has more people than the United States and exports and imports more goods than any other country in the world.
