"State" in this context is the same as the state in "head of state," AKA "a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government." Other examples of this usage are "nation-state" and "city-state."
It is common to refer to the members of the EU as "member states."
- HarHarVeryFunny 3y agoSo then why not just refer to the whole list as states rather than countries ? IMO it be weird to do so, but at least consistent. I'm curious what state you're from where it's normal to refer to EU members as "member states" ? USA perhaps ?
