From 3.000 B.C. through the late 1940s, it is hard to find a single example of a state formed in any other way. Since the late 1940s, though, Western Europeans have been turning history's most successful formula on its head. The European Union has arguably been the most extraordinary experiment in the history of political institutions, but the reason its accomplishments seemed so boring was that dullness was the bloc's whole point. In committee meeting after the committee meeting, unsung bureaucratic heroes spun of web of rules and regulations that bound the Continent's formerly sovereign states into an economic and cultural unit and than began using economics and culture to create a political unit.
