Kei roto i tēnei ko ngā whenua katoa o Ūropi, haunga a Belarus, Kazakhstan me Vatican City. Ko te whakakotahitanga atu o Ūropi e ētahi whenua i ahu mai ki te hanganga o te Uniana o Ūropi (EU), he hinonga tōrangapū motuhake kei waenganui i tētahi whāngai me tētahi kāwanatanga. I takea te EU i Ūropi ki te Uru, engari kua whakawhānui ki te rawhiti mai i te hinganga o te Soviet Union i te tau 1991.
