The chart above shows the population of EU states.  The Western EU is the only region with states that have populations over 60 million people.

The chart above shows the total number of motor vehicles in EU states.  Vehicle ownership correlates pretty strongly with population although there are some notable standouts like Italy which has a smaller population than both France and the United Kingdom but surpasses both in vehicles registered.

The chart above shows the population density of EU regions.  The Western EU is the most densely populated while the Northern EU is the most sparsely populated.

The chart above shows the population density of EU and US states.  Not surprisingly, the European Union is much more densely populated than the US is, but what is surprising is how much more densely populated the least densely populated state in the EU is than several US states.

The chart above shows the population density of EU member states.  As Malta is such a small state, it is not surprising that its population density is so high, but what is surprising is how low Luxembourg's is.

The chart above shows the Purchasing Power Parity Gross Domestic Product (GDP PPP) of EU regions per square kilometer of territory in euros.  The Western EU has such a high GDP per area that it is more than double the remaining regions' combined GDP per area.

The chart above shows the Purchasing Power Parity Gross Domestic Product (GDP PPP) of EU and US states per square mile of territory in US dollars.  EU and US states are distributed pretty much equally in this metric.

The chart above shows the Purchasing Power Parity Gross Domestic Product (GDP PPP) of EU states per square kilometer of territory.  Even though Western EU states have relatively large states, they still manage an impressive showing.

The chart above shows the area of each of the EU and US regions.  The Western US is so large that it can fit the entirety of the European Union within it.

The chart above shows the area of each of the EU regions.  Unlike population distribution and economic might, the land that the four major regions of the Union take up is relatively equal.
