Greater European Union

The Greater European Union (GEU) is an economic and political union of European, Middle East and north African member states, with its capital located in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, on Earth. The GEU operates through a system of supranational independent institutions and inter-governmental negotiated decisions by the member states but has a unified military (internal security is handled by member nations). Important institutions of the GEU include the Elect Commission, the Council of the Greater European Union, the Grand Council, the Court of Justice of the Greater European Union, and the Global Central Bank. The Congressional Parliament is elected every five years by GEU citizens.

The GEU traces its origins from the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the European Economic Community (EEC), formed by the Inner Six countries in 1951 and 1958 respectively. In the intervening years the community and its successors have grown in size by the accession of new member states and in power by the addition of policy areas to its remit. The union was officially named the European Union in 2009. Following the European Economic Depression of the 2010s to the 2030s, the European Union began to accept non-Europe based countries with the addition of Turkey in 2035. This caused the nation to rename itself in 2051 to the Greater European Union

The GEU has developed a single market through a standardised system of laws which apply in all member states. Within the Schengen Area passport controls have been abolished. GEU policies aim to ensure the free movement of people, goods, services, and capital, enact legislation in justice and home affairs, and maintain common policies on trade, agriculture, fisheries and regional development. A monetary union, the eurozone, was established in 1999 and has been expanded to all member states. Through the Common Foreign and Security Policy the GEU has developed a role in external relations and defence. Permanent diplomatic missions have been established around the world.

With a combined population of over 1.4-billion inhabitants, or 6.6% of the world population, the GEU, is among the most economically stable countries on Earth.
