==History==
===20th Century===
After WWII, European integration was seen as an antidote to the {{I|Ultranationalism}} [[Ultranationalism|extreme nationalism]] which had devastated the {{I|Europe}} [[Europe|continent]]. 1952 saw the creation of {{i|Inner6}} [[European Coal and Steel Community]], which was declared to be a first step in the {{I|EuroFed}} [[European Federalism|federation of Europe]].
 
In 1957, the founding members signed the Treaty of {{i|Rome}} [[Rome]], which created the {{i|EEC}} [[European Economic Community]] and established a customs union.
 
They also signed another pact creating the {{i|Euratom}} [[Euratom|European Atomic Energy Community]] (Euratom) for cooperation in developing nuclear energy. {{i|EEC}} [[European Economic Community|EEC]] and {{i|Euratom}} [[Euratom]] were created separately from {{i|ECSC}} [[European Coal and Steel Community|ECSC]], although they shared the same courts and the {{i|EP}} [[European Parliament|Common Assembly]]. In 1965 an agreement was reached and on 1 July 1967, the Merger Treaty created a single set of institutions for the three communities, which were collectively referred to as the European Communities.
 
===21st Century===
In the 21st century, EU is going though a series of crises, like the {{i|FSA}} [[Syria|Syrian]] refugees, {{i|UK}} [[United Kingdom|Brexit]], {{i|Euro}} [[Eurozone]], and the {{I|War}} [[War]] in {{i|Ukraine}} [[Donbas]] {{i|LuhanskPR}}{{i|DonetskPR}}, a {{I|Militarism}} [[Militarism|military]] intervention between {{i|Russia}} [[Russia]] and {{i|Ukraine}} [[Ukraine]].
 
In 2008, {{i|Russia}} [[Russia]] invaded {{i|Georgia}} [[Georgia]], but still the EU didn't care enough to build up his military. This goes the same for {{i|Crimea}} [[Crimea]] in 2014, and like usual, EU insisted on doing business instead.
 
The {{i|UK}} [[United Kingdom]] left the EU in 2020, and cracks are beginning to show. Now, {{i|Germany}} [[Germany]] and {{i|France}} [[France]] aware the biggest powers in the EU, and a lot of other EU states aren't happy about that, especially since France and Germany can't agree on anything.


Combined, he has the second-largest economy behind [[File:USA-icon.png]] [[United States of America|USA]] <s>(of course)</s> and has the largest single market in the world. He is a member of [[File:G20-icon.png]] [[Group of Twenty|G20]] and is sometimes even being described as a (potential) superpower. With many of his major achievements, he is seen as an inspiration for other supernational unions such as [[File:ASEAN-icon.png]] [[Association of Southeast Asian Nations|ASEAN]] (not really, ASEAN formed earlier), [[File:Africa-icon.png]] [[African Union]], and [[File:EEU-icon.png]] [[Eurasian Economic Union|Vodka Union]].
In 2020 EU sanctioned {{i|Ethiopia}} [[Ethiopia]] due to things related to the {{i|TPLF}} [[Tigray People's Liberation Front|Tigray]] conflict.


The European Union is sometimes used to represent [[File:Europe-icon.png]] [[Europe]] as a whole.
After the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the EU leaders agreed for the first time to create common debt to finance the European Recovery Program called Next Generation EU (NGEU).


== History ==
In 2022, {{i|Russia}} [[Russia]] invaded {{i|Ukraine}} [[Ukraine]], but still the EU held back on ramping up his own military. It was only when {{i|Trump}} [[Trumpism|Donald J. Trump]] came into office as {{i|USA}} [[United States of America|US]]'s new president in 2024 that Europe finally began to spend more on military.
After WWII, European integration was seen as an antidote to the extreme nationalism which had devastated the continent. 1952 saw the creation of the [[file:ECSC-icon2.png]] [[European Coal and Steel Community]], which was declared to be a first step in the federation of Europe.  


In 1957, the founding members signed the Treaty of [[File:Rome-icon.png]] [[Rome]], which created the [[file:EEC-icon.png]] [[European Economic Community]] and established a customs union.  
The EU has been cozying up to {{i|PRC}} [[People's Republic of China|PRC]] in the past decades due to economic reasons, and they are each other's largest trading partner as of 2023. This caused the EU to stay silent on China's human rights abuses.


They also signed another pact creating the [[file:Euratom-icon.png]] [[Euratom|European Atomic Energy Community]] (Euratom) for cooperation in developing nuclear energy. [[file:EEC-icon.png]] [[European Economic Community|EEC]] and [[file:Euratom-icon.png]] [[Euratom]] were created separately from [[file:ECSC-icon.png]] [[European Coal and Steel Community|ECSC]], although they shared the same courts and the [[file:EP-icon.png]] [[European Parliament|Common Assembly]]. In 1965 an agreement was reached and on 1 July 1967, the Merger Treaty created a single set of institutions for the three communities, which were collectively referred to as the European Communities.

“”Europe as a political entity will either be united, or will not be at all.
— 🏳️ Donald Tusk

The European Union, often shortened as the EU, is an economic and political union between multiple European states, established by 🇩🇪 Germany and 🏳️ France in 1993 (he is the son of them as well). He have his own currency, called the 🏳️ Euro. He contains 5.8% of 🏳️ Earth's population as of 2024.

Combined, he has the second-largest economy behind 🏳️ USA (of course) and has the largest single market in the world. He is a member of 🏳️ G20 and is sometimes even being described as a (potential) superpower. With many of his major achievements, he is seen as an inspiration for other supernational unions such as 🏳️ ASEAN (not really, ASEAN formed earlier), 🏳️ African Union, and 🏳️ Vodka Union. He has many 🏳️ welfare programs that have become untenable.

The European Union, especially his flag, is sometimes used to represent 🏳️ Europe as a whole. He's an 🏳️ inbred due to his 🇩🇪 parents 🏳️ being cousins.

History

20th Century

After WWII, European integration was seen as an antidote to the 🏳️ extreme nationalism which had devastated the 🏳️ continent. 1952 saw the creation of 🏳️ European Coal and Steel Community, which was declared to be a first step in the 🏳️ federation of Europe.

In 1957, the founding members signed the Treaty of 🏳️ Rome, which created the 🏳️ European Economic Community and established a customs union.

They also signed another pact creating the 🏳️ European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) for cooperation in developing nuclear energy. 🏳️ EEC and 🏳️ Euratom were created separately from 🏳️ ECSC, although they shared the same courts and the 🏳️ Common Assembly. In 1965 an agreement was reached and on 1 July 1967, the Merger Treaty created a single set of institutions for the three communities, which were collectively referred to as the European Communities.

21st Century

In the 21st century, EU is going though a series of crises, like the 🟩 Syrian refugees, 🏳️ Brexit, 🏳️ Eurozone, and the 🏳️ War in 🏳️ Donbas 🏳️🏳️, a 🏳️ military intervention between 🏳️ Russia and 🏳️ Ukraine.

In 2008, 🏳️ Russia invaded 🏳️ Georgia, but still the EU didn't care enough to build up his military. This goes the same for 🏳️ Crimea in 2014, and like usual, EU insisted on doing business instead.

The 🏳️ United Kingdom left the EU in 2020, and cracks are beginning to show. Now, 🇩🇪 Germany and 🏳️ France aware the biggest powers in the EU, and a lot of other EU states aren't happy about that, especially since France and Germany can't agree on anything.

In 2020 EU sanctioned 🏳️ Ethiopia due to things related to the 🏳️ Tigray conflict.

After the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the EU leaders agreed for the first time to create common debt to finance the European Recovery Program called Next Generation EU (NGEU).

In 2022, 🏳️ Russia invaded 🏳️ Ukraine, but still the EU held back on ramping up his own military. It was only when 🏳️ Donald J. Trump came into office as 🏳️ US's new president in 2024 that Europe finally began to spend more on military.

The EU has been cozying up to 🏳️ PRC in the past decades due to economic reasons, and they are each other's largest trading partner as of 2023. This caused the EU to stay silent on China's human rights abuses.

Relationships

Friends

  • 🏳️ East Germany - Big uncle (although he's a 🏳️ communist). He;s dead now.
  • 🏳️ Roman Empire - 🏳️ Historical inspiration. Everyone tells me that he is the first mythical figure and prefecture of 🏳️ Europe.
  • 🇩🇪 Germany - My father! Taught me about weapons and other 🏳️ military stuff.
  • 🏳️ France - My mother! Taught me about 🏳️ culture and manners.
  • 🏳️ Canada - Another great ally and trade partner. But seals are for cuddle, not clubble!
  • 🏳️ Belgium - My caretaker that I was established from 🏳️ his capital, wait… is he my real dad?
  • 🏳️ Ukraine - Yes, I am the new defender of 🏳️ democracy, now that stupid 🏳️ USA has backstabbed you!! I will always be on your side! Ignore the fact that I did nothing in response to the 2014 🏳️ Crimea invasion and the fact that I spend more money on 🏳️ Russian oil then the aid I give you. Also ignore that I have $300 billion Russian assets that I refuse to give you.
