I imagine, if they're, it's difficult to be a sovereign democratic state when it's just a satellite of undemocratic organization

The EU is largely toothless.

No current government is a democracy. The only examples we have of a democracy being used as a government (compared to club meetings, etc) are ancient city-states and pirate ships. The rest are using it as a false label to manipulate and control through lies.

So they don't control the money and the foreign policy?
