>europeaness is getting more important...
I disagree.
Nationalism plays a reduced part since WWII. I can't say it is nonexistent, since all the countries has people who believes national identity, their ethnicity matters, their national politics have to be preserved and aimed along their national interests. They are marginalized. Even those parties that today are featured in left-liberal media as nationalist (eg. Fidesz on the Hungary), they really aren't. Their resistance toward the imperialist Brussels is a sham, the existence of national governments is obsolete. Even now the survival of the folk, the ethnicity is in the hands of the people only.
And then the left-liberals are destroying Europeanness itself. Maybe a redefinition is going on as globalization is going on and new supranational level of control is getting constructed, and some new polarizations form.
>Also not to mention a confedral empire is still an empire,
I don't think there is a confederate empire. A confederacy is many centered due to the sovereign states it consist of, the empire has only one center, it is one sovereign state, it is too different type of state organization practice. A solution for the Austro-Hungarian Empire was to dial it back to confederacy, creating member states instead of subjects. Yes it would have been the same state, but the empire status would have been abolished.
One can think of "empire" as a more abstract form, like how the US is referred to as an empire, when it is a republic. Still it doesn't make it a real empire even if it enjoys such status on the globe.
