Germany is the Central State of the European Economic Area of Western Christian Civilisation, while France and the United Kingdom (until Brexit) have a significant influence.

The European Union is the largest trading bloc in the World (19% of the total world trade).

The European Countries that are not part of the European Economic Area of Western Christian Civilisation are:
