Europe is an elite-driven republic lacking the benefitof a democratic, pan European identity

The institutional expansion has proceeded way ahead

of the appetites of its citizens

European Union survives by fear of a breakout

If the Eurozone is to be more than a grim marriage

sustained by the frightening costs of dividing up assetsand liabilities, it has to be built on something vastly

more positive than that.

Swiss Federalism Model, GNHI & Bitcoin, three main drivers thatboosted the European Federation (EF) competitiveness.

Where next ?a

Following Turkey integration within EF 30, the European Federation Growth National Happiness Index

surpassed the one of China. USA and China to reconsider EF as the new powerhouse for the next 25 years. Will

ASEAN revamp its current integration model following the African Federation creation back in 2023 ?

Af ter years of sobriety, soli dari ty, common vision, youth engagement and consensus buil ding, Eur ope managed

to go beyond its past divisions in society, civic and urban li fe, and cul tur e.

The crowdsourcing of Europe Vision 2040 among the young, the creation of the Finance-F iscal and

I nnovation Federation, coupled to transformative leadership, the adoption of GNH I and B itcoin have been key

to succeed.
