Mayotte is a beautiful French archipelago in the Indian Ocean.

The European Union is a vast political body that spans across 28 member states, an area of around 1,669,808 square miles, and an estimated population of over 510 million citizens.

The main players include Germany, France, and Britain (until Brexit finally takes place), with more recent additions including Croatia, Romania, and other states in eastern Europe.

However, hidden away on the fringes of the EU are islands and overseas territories that the majority of people have probably never heard of, despite belonging to the EU.
