The European Union currently consists of 27 member nations. Officially formed in 1993, the EU's roots date back to 1951 and the formation of the six-nation European Coal and Steel Community.
Since 2004, the EU's population and economy are both bigger than the United States'. The EU has 23 official languages, but only 15 of the 27 members use the euro as currency.
