The European Union is a collection of 27 different member states
from all over Europe. The goal of the EU is to create a
political and economic community across Europe and as such,
there are trade and government agreements throughout the EU and
most of its member states have adopted a single currency, the
euro. The total population of the European Union is 501,064,211
(2010 estimate) but the sizes of the countries participating in
the EU vary as does the size of the cities within those
countries. Large countries like France with global cities like
Paris are EU members, as are small countries like Malta. The
following is a list of the 10 largest cities based on the city
