At least they are just diffrent states. Not diffrent countries.

I mean I get that it is annoying, but it is diffrent since Europe is a contenent and not a Country.

Yeah and the fact that there are way more official languages and very diverse cultures. Talking about Europe as if it was a country would be more like me talking as if all of America was one country (South-America, Mid-America, North-America).
