United States of Europe

Switzerland has just been added to the Schengen Agreement. The Schengen Agreement is an agreement where international borders does not apply. It is the abolition of systematic border controls among the participating countries. The EU is currently composed of twenty republics, six kingdoms and one grand duchy.

The following 28 countries are now the borderless countries or under the Schengen Agreement.

Austria · Belgium · Bulgaria · Cyprus · Czech Republic · Denmark · Estonia · Finland · France · Germany · Greece · Hungary · Ireland · Italy · Latvia · Lithuania · Luxembourg · Malta · Netherlands · Poland · Portugal · Romania · Slovakia · Slovenia · Spain · Sweden · Switzerland · United Kingdom ·

Picture above is a typical Schengen border crossing that has no border control post and only a common EU-state sign welcoming the visitor, as here between Germany and Austria.
