There exist these places, stores really. They sell books. I hear they even have one on the internet now. Anyway, in this place is a book which is just a list of words. This book has definitions for each word in the list. I mean, that's it's reason for existence. That's what it does - it defines words. It's usually pretty large. (Although they do sell smaller, abridged versions.) It's called a dictionary. I suggest you pick one up. Once you do that, you can learn the meanings of the words you use and we can all have an actual conversation because we have a shared vocabulary from which to build meaning and not just a vocabulary that is made up for argumentative convenience on the spot.

Keep me posted.

Europa is not a country. But I'd say that Europeans are a nation because they share culture, ethnic origin, and often the language

You're crazy. They don't share language, culture, or ethnic origin. "Nation" is a word, it has a definition. You don't just get to make up the definition to suit your point of view. Sorry.
