I don't think European countries are compatible with anything but their own country's culture. Overall, I see way more homogeneity in Latin America or the US/Canada than in a United Europe. Germans tend to stick with Germans, French with French (and Parisians with Parisians while we are at that), maybe some Dutch and Germans, but I've been to Dutch parties where I was probably one of the few foreigners (and no I was not in the Netherlands).
I mean don't get me wrong, on the individual level and once you know a person, it does not matter where they are from, but nationalism/language differences is what allows for a place that is relatively small to have so many countries to remain separate entities and it's the driving force behind the euroskeptics. Exacerbating those feelings is what led to the World Wars.
