American Union (New America)

The American Union (AU) or Union Américain (UA) is an elected political body that serves to enact regulation, trade, peace and diplomacy laws through out the continent of North America. The bodies power comes from a written constitution and the North American Treaty which was written in 2005 by Canadian and American politicians and has allowed the body to amend its powers. The AU also serves as an appointed judicial body called the Supreme Court of America (SCoA) which rules on appealed cases from member states on several subjects, others are regulated to lower courts. The American Union Bank is the centralized bank of the AU and the continent and helps set out the economic policy of the Parliament, the AUB Preisdent is Elizabeth Warren who is considered to have led the AU through an economic recession.

The elected members to the AU pass budgets, trade, social and diplomatic laws. The body is elected every five years like its European Union counterpart, the first election in the American Union elections, 2006 and again in 2011.

Member states
After the end of Canada and the United States all new nations created through the NAT joined the AU eventually in the first year. The member states each elect an amount of members to the AU based on the population of that nation, and in relation to the others. There are 750 Members of the American Parliament (MAP) each elected every five years through, porportional representation and party-list system. Due to the large inequality of some naton's populations, after each census and re-assignment of seats from the Independent election council, they try to give some seats to smaller nations to maintain the balance of power. Where the Polar Republic would have two seats, they are given four, as Acadian is suppose to be given six they are given seven.
