ヨーロッパってどこまでがヨーロッパ？

I'm not sure that Yui can understand also this difference 🤭

The European continent is a vast geographical landmass with over 44 to 51 countries, whereas the European Union (EU) is a political and economic union of 27 member states. [1, 2, 3]


Key Differences at a Glance
  • Geographical Europe (The Continent):
    • Area: Spans from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Ural Mountains and Ural River in the east, and from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Mediterranean, Black, and Caspian Seas in the south.
    • Countries: Includes non-EU countries like the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, Russia (European part), Ukraine, Turkey, and the Western Balkans.
    • Definition: Defined by physical geography and shared historical-cultural regions rather than political membership. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
  • Political Europe (The European Union):
    • Members: Consists of 27 countries (such as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Greece) that share a single market, common laws, and institutions.
    • Exclusions: Many European countries are not in the EU (for example, the UK left via Brexit in 2020, and nations like Norway and Switzerland choose to stay outside while cooperating closely).

Personally i d exclude Turkey from the definition as the only "Europe" part is east Thrace and few islands, and its also totally different in religion language tradition and politics than the rest. The Russians do have many european things both in phenotype and culture, even if there are geopolitical differences. The difference of EU from the USA politically is that there is no unified federal state yet. Each member state is independent except the areas it agreed to give powers to the EU, and most confusingly there are some areas where both have power over certain policy areas, Its what makes decition-making so slow here.

I thought it was funny to use the "yui european face" because it was so great to illustrate the idea of george1234. Of course I know the definition of Europe and UE, I'm an European :) both from UE and Europe (in a geographic definition) :) But I thought immediately of this scene of K-On the Movie with Yui that can't understand that London is in Europe and also in England (also in the UK but too complicated for her. Especially that when the movie was created, London was also in the UE but not anymore). And the "how far/big is Europe" is so funny :)

Sorry for the off topic... I hope that others countries in Europe and in the world would have the last Madoka movie in theaters. For Europe, also an announcement for Italy by the way : https://www.dynit.it/la-nuova-stagi...oka-magica-gintama-made-in-abyss-e-your-name/ (From December 10th to 16th).
