Overall I think it's a good idea. It does need much much work though but the general idea of a more united front. I don't like borders or the 'country' defenition.. Together we can accomplish much more I think!

I think the Euro currency is a good thing, as a kid I didn't get the 'Gulden' really it was not logical. This way it gets at least much easier when traveling just a few KM into another "country" aka a piece of land a little further away..

The Euro disproportionally benefits already rich countries in the EU, while harming less well off countries like Greece, as they don't have control over the value of their own currency.
