Ireland has this: “If one of your grandparents was born in Ireland, but neither of your parents was born in Ireland, you may become an Irish citizen. You will need to have your birth registered in the Foreign Births Register.”

And although I don't precisely think that Europe is a client state of the United States, I would agree they need to cultivate some sort of identity. Given European history and the way in which the EU and especially the Eurozone were constructed and sold to various countries was usually as a way to compete with America instead of an actual positive common European goal. *cues ‘Ode to Joy’*
