THE VERY NARROW SIGHTED NAROPEAN UNION

The name of Europa is of Greek etymology.  It is derived from the Greek roots meaning broad (εὐρ(υ)- eur(u)-) and eye (ὤψ/ὠπ-/ὀπτ- ōps/ōp-/op(t)-), henceEurṓpē, "wide-gazing", "broad of aspect" (compare with glaukōpis (γλαυκῶπις 'grey-eyed') Athena or boōpis (βοὠπις 'ox-eyed') Hera). 
Opposite of wide is narrow, hence the Naropean Union of the 21st century...
