The EU is a rich block with its own Parliament and laws, 2 nuclear powers and 27 members.

Both regions cultivate the friendship of Washington (that tries to the EU like partner and LAC like subordinate), although both differ from this one before being related to Cuba, the ecological treaty of Kyoto and the unilateralism.
