European Alliance (The World Exhaled)

The European Alliance (EA) is an economic and political union of 30 member states which are located in Europe. Committed to preserving the "European dominance of the world", the EA was established in 1923. With over 500 million citizens, the EA combined generated an estimated 45% share of the nominal Gross Domestic Product, as of 2009.

The EA has developed a single market through a standardised system of laws which apply in all member states, and ensures the free movement of people, goods, services, and capital, including the abolition of passport controls between 22 EA states. It enacts legislation in justice and home affairs, and maintains common policies on trade, agriculture, fisheries, and regional development. Sixteen member states (besides Britain) have adopted a common currency, the Pound, making the Pound the unofficial currency of the European Alliance. The EA works closely and is reliant on WETO for military defense and affairs.

The EU operates through a hybrid system of supernationalism and intergovernmentalism. In certain areas, decisions are taken by independent supranational institutions, while in others, they are made through negotiation between member states.
