There's a new superpower in town
It's the most underplayed story of the day, the week, the month, the year: the European Union now includes 25 nations (including my personal favorite, the Czech Republic), nearly half a billion people, and a gross domestic product of nearly $12 trillion (only $1 trillion less than the United States of America), and is now the world's largest trading bloc. Congratulations, Europe, on pulling it all together, and condolences to Norway, which decided against joining.
