Suppose the global population is 7 billion. One percent is 70 million then. Neither “you and me” or “EU and me” are suitable candidates. The population of the EU is ~450 million, the population of the US is 330 million.

Some informative graphics, which by the way contradict the title claim of the post. So the 1% = 95% claim might be wrong. Wikipedia says that 1% = 46%.
