MEEHAHAHAMEEE
Well, I guess that it would either be built in the most multiethnic region, or, maybe, making a 'free city' in the centre of the continent (Austria? Bavaria?) and inhabiting it with the most diverse demographic possible.
Changed my handle for the sake of having a contributor page. Will be known as Milos Stefanovic from now on.
It would float above the continent, moving over capital to capital to reflect the EU's current presidency.
If it takes place sometime in the future maybe build an island/City in the Atlantic

I'd think Switzerland would be a good place, because of its fairly neutral stance during WWI and WWII.

^Well, if the European Union still exists, then Switzerland is probably not such a great idea. If it's Europe in general, then I'd agree.
Why not just burn the entire country of Belgium to the ground (fiddle sold separately) and build a massive city there? If you want to bake a cake...

Geneva, good location mostly... Belgium would need t be burned if you were going to use it as they have issues right now.
Need to know about strange weapons, especially weird guns? I know em, and if i don't I'll find them.
It would be built in New York.
lol.

They'd never get around to it, they'd spend a century arguing over the location, and half a century arguing over the architectural style, by which time the money would have run out, and half the countries would have pulled out anyway.

I'd say the perfect symbol of European Unity would be a city where the British are the cooks, the French are the engineers, the Germans are the policemen, the Swiss are the lovers and the Italians run the place.
Again with the data mining, dear Aunt?
Polite smartass.
An ideal city would be in a safe harbor with a lot of flat land around for an airport, but elevated above sea level. The floating city idea is great, too.

It'd be built in Russia due to Russia's population/landmass size comapred to the rest of Eurasi...I mean Europa

^^^ The perfect symbol of unity, everyone hating each other equally!
Is that cake frosting?
I think that Eastern Europe would be the most likely choice: people still tend to disregard it when considering Europe, but it historically was incredibly important and it is both geographically consistent and one of the most promising parts of Europe when it comes to current economic and social developments.
If I were to pinpoint the location, I would choose to put the city exactly on the point in which the boundaries between Czech Republic and Slovakia, Slovakia and Austria and Czech Republic and Austria meet, that is, just a little north-east of Vienna: not only this is a rather central position in Europe, but given the difficult history between these three nations such a city would be a very powerful symbol of unity.

If you're going for European Unity, why not the former capital of the Roman Empire? Istanbul It's the perfect future capital of Europe!

...Where should it go? Assuming they had the resource excess to make such a project seem like a good idea, of course.
