I'm actually an EU citizen, who has never lived there, and never even visited. I did not create the EU; did the EU create me?

  If your parent are EU citizens, and the EU 'is it's citizens' (which is controversial but defensible) then yes, the EU did create you.

    None of my family have ever resided in the EU either. I think I understand the argument you're trying to make, but it relies on some rather tortured logic.

      I fail to understand how your particular case works. Not having a horse in the race but just a piece of paper you don't care about doesn't help you to make a point, which is what exactly?

        I was replying to a comment that said: "The EU is its citizens. So in a sense the EU did create its citizens." I tried to show that I was a counter-example.

          If you're a citizen of the EU, you're a part of the EU. That's almost tautological.

  You are part of it, so you created part of it through your birth. Once all EU citizens die, the EU dies. We can also of course end it earlier.
