### Comment:
Idk where this fun fact comes from, but Germany is 2x+ Texas, even bigger than Cali. The EU had an $18.8 trillion economy last year compared to the U.S.' 19.39 of 2017. We're set to fall further behind now that the Brits are leaving, then again some of our richest 'states' are not officially part of the EU: Switzerland, Norway, Russia is Europe but not EU, etc. Yes, you are one country and we are not, but to ignore Europe would be to ignore more than a quarter of the world.

### REPLY:
Germany is not bigger than Texas it is actually smaller.

 The EU has 200 million more people than the United States, basically 1.75 times more  and we are still beating them. Most countries economy within the EU is largely based on tourism which we provide.
