Are you saying you don't pay any attention to news outside your national border?

Well, I don't care about what happens in my national border or even in my city either :D

Anyhow, I didn't say what you mean, I merely said it was hard to follow. I am not sure if Romania is already in the EU or not, or using the Euro or not. If they are not yet, I am sure it is on the way and that it should happen in a few years.
What I know for sure is that Turkey is not a member yet and is facing a lot of opposition concerning its membership.

I am also aware that Czechoslovakia split into Czech Republic and Slovakia for more than 10 years, yet I still sometimes refer to "Czechoslovakia" when listing European countries. (And I often mention Soviet Russia when posting anonymously on slashdot, but this is another matter).

I don't know much about US politics but wikipedia states that "Tallahassee became the capital of Florida in 1824."

For their (and my) defense, the countries composing the European Union are changing a lot more than the states in the USA. Well, even the European countries have changed names/frontiers a lot since I left school (where I had to learn this kind of stuff).

It is indeed quite difficult to remember which countries are in Europe (the continent) and/or European Union and/or using the Euro currency.
