The EU needs a capital city for the same reason a country needs a capital, to be the head of government for the alliance/country!
Hmm, I think exactly because France and Germany have so much power, we should have a more average country have the capital.
In my country we mostly use country. Nation isn't commonly used, so nobody here really thinks about the distinction. But anyways, that's not my point.

I see. But nation and country is not same. Difference is so small, but still.
Saying that Europe should became one country and one nation is not same.
Hahaha I know that struggle. Sometimes I feel like sacrificing accuracy for the sake of readability. But actually, there is no good alternative to the word 'country'. Maybe 'state' is a good one, but that could could also mean a subject of a sovereign state, like a state in the United States. So maybe we should stick to 'country', if it weren't for Scotland and Aruba also being countries, but not independent countries.
Ugh... As you see, it is pointless to nitpick about definitions here.

A federal Europe? What do we need that for? We're not USA... but i guess the terrorist attacks will multiply 'till we accept it

Country=/=Nation.
Scotland is a country, but not a Nation.
French are a nation, France is a country.
Most people, even native speakers tend to confuse two terms.
I was doing the same mistake as well then someone taught me that these weren't the same. I remember feeling like I haven't learnt anything in English.

That is what I was talking about. Serbian nation have over 14 milion members. But Serbia as country has 8,9 milion inhabitants, which not all are Serbs.
German nation and German country is not same. Same with European united country and united nation.
And you even got difference between united nation and united nationS.

German nation includes Austria, even though Germany and Austria are two countries.

Most Austrians would disagree. Many Germans, too.
I personally consider Austria as part of the German nation though, because they speak German and because else, they are quite similar to Germans. (Bavarians are a bit different from Northern Germans too, yet they still are Germans)

I'm surprised I have a higher number of them in my nation.
612. Not bad. Pretty up there, I'll say.
Oh No, not the 'ad hominem' retort! It makes one sound so superior when looking in the mirror.
The ignorance in the author is his/her assertion that they are right and others who disagree are wrong. I initiated the discussion by stating that Turkey is in Europe knowing there would be some dialog. One Nation had the foresight to bring up the Ottoman Empire which dominated Eastern Europe and thus impacted European politics for 400 years.
Nevertheless, our Latin 'citer' could not see past his/her bias and rather than consider this greater perspective, discarded it as wrong based on subjective criteria. This individual would make a good American ~ self-cocky, egoistic, and ignorant in the impact of history upon the present reality.
My credentials are a degree in Political Science with extensive studies in Economics and History whereupon I was granted membership in the Phi Alpha Theta International History Honor Society. Credentials don't seem to mean much in this day and age. So it goes.
It is fine to disagree with another when one can acknowledge multiple perspectives. It is ignorance to assert one’s superiority while narrow minded and blind.

I understand what you want to say, it's just that you presented Germany as an example of one nation in two countries, and for the non-Germans here I wanted to clarify that this view is pretty rare.
F@ck Germany. Serbia's not worth f@cking.
omg i love this, i'm not even offended, this is amazing. you made my day good chap! (assuming you're a chap since this is the internet)
No.
German is a nation and so is Austria. Two separate Nations, with massive differences between the two.

Austria is nation? Mhm, I see everything... Enough.
