Reply to comment by r3dl3g in ELI5 the EU and how it works by Is_Rosen

Again, not exactly. It has a lot of systems that are very similar to the US, but their central government is exceptionally weak and unable to actually function that well in a crisis, which is a huge difference in terms of why the US is more powerful than the EU despite the EU having a larger population and a larger economy.
