There are 51 countries in the geographic area that is recognized as belonging to Europe. 6 of those countries are partly Asian (marked with an * in the following list) – source.
The EU has 28 member states, soon to be only 27. That means that 23, soon 24, European countries are NOT part of the EU. The name “The European Union” is clearly a creative misnomer, an attempt to strut around in borrowed plumes.
