Now that you're here

Let's take a moment
to praise the European Union.

Objectively a good idea. A few reasons why.

🕊️

75+ years of peace between nations that spent centuries invading each other. The EU was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2012 for advancing peace, reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe.

🛂

27 countries, zero passport queues. The Schengen Area covers 29 countries and 420 million people who cross borders freely. Total internal border crossings: over 1.25 billion per year.

📱

No roaming charges since 2017. EU residents can use their mobile plan across all member states at no extra cost. The Commission estimates this saves travellers €1.2 billion per year.

✈️

Flight delayed over 3 hours? You're owed €250–€600. EU Regulation 261/2004 gives air passengers some of the strongest rights in the world. The airline pays — not you.

🔌

Forced the world onto USB-C. From 2024, all new small electronics sold in the EU must use USB-C. Apple complied. Every other manufacturer complied. One cable to rule them all.

🧀

Protected 3,400+ food names with Geographical Indications. Champagne must come from Champagne. Parmigiano Reggiano must come from Emilia-Romagna. No fake Parma ham. A hill worth dying on.

💊

GDPR gave you control of your own data. The right to access, correct and delete your personal data from any company. Fines of up to 4% of global revenue for violations. Meta has been fined over €2.5 billion to date.

🍌

Yes, they regulated banana curvature. Commission Regulation 2257/94: Class I bananas must be "free from abnormal curvature." Class II may be "slightly defective in shape." This is real. Priorities intact.

🎓

Erasmus has sent 13 million students abroad since 1987. Studies show Erasmus alumni are significantly less likely to hold nationalist views and more likely to marry someone from another EU country.
