The European Union


The European Union (EU) is an economic
and political union made up of 27
countries in Europe. Austria, Belgium,
Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia,
Spain, and Sweden are all members of
the European Union.

EU policies strive to secure the free


movement of goods, money, people and
services inside the internal market, pass
justice and home affairs laws, and
preserve common trade, agricultural,
fishing, and regional development
policies. For travel within the EuroZone,
passport restrictions have been
eliminated. The euro is the official
currency of 19 of the European Union’s 27
member states.

Let’s look at some prominent countries in


Europe:

The United Kingdom

“United Kingdom of Great Britain and


Northern Ireland” is the official name of
the United Kingdom. It was formerly an
EU member nation until it formally left
the EU following Brexit. It has a single
government that has its headquarters in
London, as well as a single currency: the
pound Sterling, which is represented by
the ‘£’ symbol. Queen Elizabeth II is the
head of state of the United Kingdom,
which is a constitutional monarchy.
London is the United Kingdom’s capital.

Greece

Greece is a country that is situated in the


southeast part of Europe. It has hundreds
of islands scattered over the Ionian and
Aegean oceans. Greece is regarded as
the origin of Western literature, Western
philosophy, and Western civilisation. It is
also referred to as the father of
democracy, historiography, political
science, and a few of the important
scientific and mathematical ideas,
theatre, and the Olympic Games. The
nation has a population of around 10.7
million people and is divided into nine
traditional geographic areas. The capital
and largest city of Greece is Athens,
which is followed by Thessaloniki.
Greece’s official currency is the Euro, and
the country is a member of the European
Union.

Italy

Italy has traditionally been home to a


diverse range of peoples and civilizations
due to its pivotal geographic location in
Southern Europe and the Mediterranean.
The country’s capital is Rome, and the
Euro is the country’s official currency. The
nation has a population of roughly 60.5
million people and is a member of the
European Union. Rome, the country’s
capital, is famed for its history and
culture, as seen by its architecture,
gastronomy, and museums. Some
constructions are almost 2,000 years old,
such as the Colosseum. The Vatican City,
which is also a cultural hub, is located
within the city of Rome.

mountains, glaciers, and deep fjords
along its coast. The capital, Oslo, is a city

Museum in Oslo has preserved 9th-
century Viking ships on exhibit. The
country’s population is estimated to be
over 5 million people while the
Norwegian krone, abbreviated as NOK, is
the country’s official currency.

Russia

Moscow, Russia’s gorgeous capital city


on the Moskva River in Western Russia, is
the country’s most well-known
metropolis. Russia is a transcontinental
country spanning eastern Europe and
northern Asia. It is, nonetheless, classified
as part of the European continent by the
United Nations. The Russian Ruble is the
