Oh, you're here.  You're the idiot participating in a long running
argument on eternal-september.support.  Here Ray is running a Usenet

Doesn't matter what you call it, each has its own laws, its own
courts, and these days its own king.

I was reacting at you phrase:
 >>> In North America and parts of the Pacific you can work
 >>> in 50 countries and pass between them with no restriction.

It doesn't matter what I call it, or what you call it.
It has a name:    United STATES of America.

And as far I know there are no kings in the USA.


And in Europe every member of the EU is a country.

You haven't seen governors busily making and enforcing new laws
without any regard to the legislature or the courts.

OK, tell us how a "state" in the US is different from a "country" in
the EU.

Note, I live in the US, I know how the system works and I really don't
like what I'm seeing happen right now.

	There's a little matter of recognition by other countries, doing
things like issuing passports (that are accepted), membership in
international organisations (UN, NATO ...). Colorado isn't and can't be a
UN member, France is.

	AIUI the states were proto-nations at the time they combined to
form the United States, they hadn't quite become nations or perhaps had
only just become nations in some cases, they've been combined into the US
for over two hundred years. The European nations OTOH had (for the most
part) centuries of existence as independent nations (much of it spent
fighting each other) before they decided to start the process that has led
to the EU we see today. That process was started in the 1950s.

	It may well in the long term be seen as a difference of degree and
timing rather than fundamental - but there are probably some who would
rather see war than a United States of Europe today.

No clear definition of state vs. nation va. country.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_(polity)

The difference between the US and the EU is the amount of sovereignty the
“states” have given up to the central authority. The EU is relatively
centralized in some areas (product standards, etc.) and decentralized in
others (no centralized armed forces - well, OK, they have something, but
not a real army, and dependent of national contingents). It’s an experiment
and no one knows how will it turn out. Will it become more centralized, and
turn into a real country? Will it come apart? is it possible it can
continue as it is?

The EU seems to have one foot firmly in each camp. It’s less than a
country, but more than a confederation .

	Another thing about the EU is that many of its provisions are to
the benefit of the individual people at the expense of the national
governments.

	The Euro is a prime example - individuals and businesses benefit
greatly from having a common currency across such a large area. Banks lose
out on exchange fees and the split, national governments lose control over
the currency their citizens use. I was working in one country, living in
another and travelling through a third when the Euro came in - I felt the
benefit immediately from not carrying three sets of change around, from not
paying currency exchange fees and from not having my effective income vary
unpredictably with currency fluctuations.

	Freedom of movement is another, people get to live and work
wherever they like which means nations have less control over who gets to
live and work in them.

	Many of the complaints about Europe tend to be of the form $COUNTRY
suffers $PROBLEM because of Europe doing $THING, failing to observe that
$THING can be of benefit to people and businesses in $COUNTRY who choose
to take advantage of it.

As far as I can tell, the major issue is Brexit.
I suppose they can get by without England, but
it's a major setback.

I think you mean "the UK". They might get Scotland back at some point, 
though.

NOt half as much as it is a setback for the UK, though.

Actually, I know, just a momentary lapse.  My age is a wonderful
excuse.  Pretty soon my posts will really degenerate.

The other day in my Internet travels I happened on
a Scot, Janey Godley.  Pretty funny but hard to understand.
