Nobody who lives in Europe has ever identified themselves as "european". It's not a thing. Europe with its nation states is not comparable to U.S. and its states. Whereas a person living in Washington might identify as an american (as opposed to Washingtonian), a person living in France will typically identify as French (not as european). Your statement that Europe "no longer has any identity" makes no sense, because Europe has never had an identity.

Really? I am German and I identify as European since my country belongs to the European Union. But I must be nobody.

From a neighbor's point of view: former German nationalism seems to have transformed itself into European nationalism, which is sort of cute and hopefully harmless. But German newspapers seemed to be really deeply insulted about Brexit, much more so that, say, Polish ones.

I'm surprised to hear that!

Germans are exception in this matter
