    It’s because some people are using Europe in its proper continental usage, and some people using it really mean the EU. In this thread we’re discussing the EU because it’s a comparable entity to the US as covered in a previous reply.

    FYI the UK is a shade under 70m population the last time I checked - nowhere near enough to add 300m to Europe’s population.

      Correct but I also know the Schengen area doesn’t include all European countries too. So my guess was that combined with the UK might be the missing 300M
