Why does the media constantly refer to Europe's counties as States?

Question

I know that the EU is made up of member countries, but the media always refers to them as states, and now the media is now calling Kosovo a new state. Is this to condition the masses on a new way of thinking? Seems kind of Orwellian 1984 without the torture do you agree?

Answer 1

Nothing Orwellian about it. State is simply a synonym for nation, a usage that was common well before 1984 was published.

Answer 2

The EU want to make Europe into a super state something the British public violently disagree with. European countries should all keep their own identity and not be dragged into this crazy idea by the morons in Brussels.Many European countries even dislike the Euro.
