With Canada joining, as a North American nation, will it need to rebrand from EU to … what?

[–] Wfh@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 days ago

Great European and North American Union. Or GENAU for short.

~yes this joke only works in German. No regrets.~

Just think of European as the place where the Union has originated. Nothing weird with having hamburgers outside of Hamburg either.

No rebranding needed, that's why they're not becoming a member but an associated member.

Atlantic Union?

Although as a Californian I'm also interested in getting in on this which would not work for that.

If CA is joining I don't see why CA can't as well.

It's only fair. California will be Canada's Alaska.

It's like the Eurovision song contest, no rebranding needed.

I hate to bring it up as an example, hate the show etc.

Except, they aren't states; they're each nations.

Nation-state, it technically works
