I mean, Europe conveniently minus the part that is Russia is a pretty political area that is closer to the EU which is also not a country but has similarities.
How is Europe minus Russia not a political boundary, even if it’s an exclusionary one? What non-political reason is there to subtract the area of Russia from the area of the continent?
What I wanted to say is it’s not a country as the comment about me implied. The EU might be something like a “supercountry” but Europe minus Russia doesn’t not have any specific political structures you could call a country
Sure, but the majority of it has a very high degree of diplomatic and economic cooperation. The map of Europe also appears to be excluding the region of Kazakhstan west of the Ural River, it’s a pretty arbitrary map even as far as the distinction of Europe/Asia vs Eurasia doesn’t already seem a bit arbitrary.

But it isn’t the EU but Europe excluding Russia which isn’t a political entity let alone a nation state
