None of my family have ever resided in the EU either.
I think I understand the argument you're trying to make, but it relies on some rather tortured logic.
I fail to understand how your particular case works. Not having a horse in the race but just a piece of paper you don't care about doesn't help you to make a point, which is what exactly?
I was replying to a comment that said: "The EU is its citizens. So in a sense the EU did create its citizens." I tried to show that I was a counter-example.
If you're a citizen of the EU, you're a part of the EU. That's almost tautological.
