"Europe" is not USA. I don't know why the author wants it to be. Germany and Spain are different countries, even if we have some degree of a unified market.

> From consumer markets, languages, laws, education systems, taxes, to funding – Europe acts like a network of small countries instead of one unified market.

"Europe" does not ACT AS, it IS a network of "small" (not quite) countries.

I think these guys are doing themselves a disservice by donning the mantle of Defenders of California-Style Capitalism®, a thing that nobody likes outside of oligarchs and aspiring oligarchs.

Their first project, smoothing out and equalizing the process of creating a new legal entity, seems like an unqualified good thing. Nobody likes notaries, outside of notaries and aspiring notaries. Having Estonia's level of simplicity in business creation would be a good thing for reckless 'disruptive' startups, but it would be a good thing for small brick-and-mortar artisans and shops too.

If one of their subsequent projects is going to be 'let's make tax laws nicer for billionaires', then yeah, screw those guys. But the first one is already a tall order and I frankly think they're unlikely to get political momentum (see: first paragraph.)
