Some time ago, the article 1 of the Membership Act of the European Union of Micronations was changed as follows:

Art. 1.1:The nation must claim real land in Europe, besides fictional or on other planets, or on the moon. (real land even as small as 1 square meter.) Art 1.2: Nations Primary Territory (Including it's Capital) must be located in the Europe Art 1.3: Nation must have been created in Europe Art 1.4: Nation`s Head of State has to reside in Europe

This change affects two member states of the EUM (Lyonesse and Jera Empire). These are american micronations with territories in Europe. These states could easily join the American Union, with similar functions as the EUM(Lyonesse even effectively does). The EUM wants to have a good relationship with the american organization so relationships with the EUM would be still important. However, other solutions are possible, such as the creation of an special status for the European territories of these nations.
