Encyclopedia: United States of Europe

The United States of Europe is a name given to one version of the hypothetical unification scenarios of Europe, as a sovereign federation of states, similar to the United States of America, both as projected by writers of speculative fiction and by political scientists and politicians. This putative federation does not currently exist, nor is there any credible expectation that it will come into existence in the foreseeable future. The analogy with the United States implies that the existing nation-states of Europe would be demoted to a status equivalent to the 50 U.S. states, losing their national sovereignty in the process. For this reason, the term is often used in a pejorative sense, by Eurosceptic opponents of further European integration. Confusingly, although the United States is a federation, the term United States of Europe is also used to describe a possible confederation of sovereign states. For most Eurosceptics, however, even a confederation is unacceptable.
