I think empire is a bit strong. It's easy to get caught up with the whole "oh look, ze germans are doing well here aren't they? lolz".
The idea of having a number of countries together, in a group, no longer fighting about shit every 30-40 years (though, I'm sure there's still misery being inflicted on nations by economic rulez from the more economically successful Northern Europe to the less well off Europe), being able to move around a bigger area of the world freely (as long as YOURE FROM HERE RIGHT?), be able to study, work, or live somewhere, have access to the benefits system while you get on your feet, etc etc, is great. Isn't it?
