If we do not take into account dependent regions and not completely recognized states, then Europe in 2017 covers 44 powers. Each of them has a capital, in which not only its administration is located, but also the highest authority, that is, the government of the state.
European countries
The territory of Europe extends from east to west for more than 3 thousand kilometers, and from south to north (from the island of Crete to the island of Spitsbergen) for 5 thousand kilometers. The majority of European powers are relatively small. With such small sizes territories and good transport accessibility, these states either closely border each other or are separated by very short distances.
The European continent is divided territorially into parts:
- western;
- eastern;
- northern;
- southern
All powers, located on the European continent, belong to one of these territories.
- IN western region There are 11 countries.
- In the east - 10 (including Russia).
- In the north - 8.
- In the south - 15.
We list all European countries and their capitals. We will divide the list of countries and capitals of Europe into four parts according to the territorial and geographical position of the powers on the world map.
Western
List of states belonging to Western Europe, with a list of main cities:
States Western Europe washed mostly by currents Atlantic Ocean and only in the north of the Scandinavian Peninsula they border on the waters of the Arctic Ocean. In general, these are highly developed and prosperous powers. But they stand out as an unfavorable demographic situation. This is a low birth rate and low level natural increase residents. In Germany there is even a population decline. All this led to the fact that developed Western Europe began to play the role of a subregion in the global system of population migration; it turned into the main center of labor immigration.
Eastern
List of states located in eastern zone European continent and their capitals:
Eastern European countries have a lower level economic development than its western neighbors. However, they better preserved their cultural and ethnic identity. Eastern Europe is more of a cultural and historical region than a geographical one. Just in time eastern territory Russian expanses can also be attributed to Europe. A geographical center Eastern Europe is located approximately within Ukraine.
Northern

The territories of the states of the Scandinavian Peninsula, Jutland, the Baltic States, the islands of Spitsbergen and Iceland are included in the northern part of Europe. The population of these regions makes up only 4% of the entire European population. Most big country Eight is Sweden, and the smallest is Iceland. The population density in these lands is lower in Europe - 22 people/m2, and in Iceland - only 3 people/m2. This is due to harsh conditions climate zone. And here economic indicators developments single out northern Europe as the leader of the entire world economy.
South
And finally, the most numerous list territories located in the southern part, and the capitals of European states:
The Balkan and Iberian peninsulas are occupied by these southern European powers. Industry is developed here, especially ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy. Countries are rich mineral resources. IN agriculture main efforts aimed at growing food products such as:

- dates.
It is known that Spain is the world's leading olive harvesting country. This is where 45% of everything is produced olive oil in the world. Spain is famous and the most famous artists- Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró.
European Union
The idea of creating a single community of European powers appeared in the middle of the twentieth century, or more precisely after the Second World War. The official unification of countries European Union(EU) occurred only in 1992, when this union was sealed by legal consent of the parties. Over time, the membership of the European Union has expanded and now includes 28 allies. And states that want to join these prosperous countries will have to prove their compliance with European foundations and EU principles, such as:
- protection of citizens' rights;
- democracy;
- freedom of trade in a developed economy.
EU Members
The European Union in 2017 includes the following states:
Today there are also candidate countries to join this foreign community. These include:
- Albania.
- Serbia.
- Macedonia.
- Montenegro.
- Türkiye.

Regulations and prerogatives of EU partners
The EU has a customs policy under which its members can trade with each other without tariffs and without restrictions. And in relation to other powers, the accepted customs tariff applies. Having general laws, the EU countries created a single market and introduced a single monetary currency- euro. Many EU member countries are part of the so-called Schengen zone, which allows their citizens to move freely throughout the territory of all allies.
The European Union has governing bodies common to its member countries, which include:
- European Court.
- European Parliament.
- European Commission.
- The audit community that controls the EU budget.
Despite the unity, European states who have joined the community have complete independence and state sovereignty. Each country uses its own national language and has its own governing bodies. But there are certain criteria for all participants, and they must meet them. For example, coordination of all important political decisions with the European Parliament.
It should be noted that since its founding, only one power has left the European community. This was the Danish autonomy - Greenland. In 1985, she was outraged by the low quotas imposed by the European Union on fishing. You can also recall the sensational events of 2016 referendum in Great Britain, when the population voted for the country to leave the European Union. This suggests that even in such an influential and seemingly stable community, serious problems are brewing.
