There is no "European" in the same way there is "American".

Europe country cultures are massively more different and diverse than US states.

There's only been free pan-EU movement since the Lisbon Treaty in December 2009. 11 years is not enough time to achieve the homogeneity that US citizens have from being single(dual at most) language, single currency & no borders for hundreds of years. Not to mention the similar pan US TV they all shared for decades.

To be fair, this applies even more directly to the parent of the comment you replied to (GP), which asserted that you get a passport after 5 years. That's true in a few European countries but explicitly false in many others.
