United States of Europe

The United States of Europe is a name occasionally given to one version of the possible future unification of Europe as a national and sovereign federation of states similar in formation to the United States of America. An alternative version of unification by a confederacy of sovereign states has been given the name United Europe (which is also the name Valéry Giscard d'Estaing proposed for the Treaty of Rome of 2004, arguing that it would reinforce the united meaning of the project). Sometimes reports use these names interchangeably without qualification, while discussing unification as an objective rather than the purpose of achieving unification.
