The European Union

Europe made up more than 30 countries and even more distinct cultures;
it is now trying to adjust to new economic systems throughout the world. Europe
is trying to advance it's old Trading block called the European Economic

single market economy, foreign policy's, same sets of environmental laws,
mutual recognition of school diplomas, to exchange of criminal records are among
the few . So however there are so many different countries with their own motifs and languages they will somehow decrease that the number of working languages will be limited to three (English, French,and German) or five (with Italian and Spanish).

12 stars. The stars are not meant to represent countries. Rather, the number of

year and (for the purpose of winning over the mainly Christian European people)
to the number of Jesus's apostles.
