Yes, the EU has about 500 million people. But specifically, Germany has over 80 million, France and the UK each have about 60 million, Italy is just short of 60 million, Spain has 40 million. And that's pretty much the half-way point in population, just those 5 countries.
Edit: I missed that the 60 million of France and UK counts twice, so you actually hit the half-way point in Italy, with only four countries.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
Was that "Abecedarian"? That's pronounced ABC-darian, not with a k sound, since a c followed by an e, i or y cannot sound like a k. Oddly, it is named from the letters ABCD. The Romans apparently didn't think ABC was enough to get the idea across.
