Great Lakes Region Union (Great Nuclear War)

The Great Lakes Region Union is an Economic and Politic International Legislative Body which proposes laws and regulations for international trade. It also concerns itself with the economies of it's constituents, and has a common currency for its members.

History
The Great Lakes Region Union (hereafter referred to as GLRU) was proposed in talks between Indiana, Kent-Lambton, and North Ohio in 1989, though official moves did not occur until 1991, when contact with Makinac-Boise, the UPR, and Green Bay was established, and the benefits of the arrangement were realized. In 1994, after the completion of a headquarters on St. George Island on Lake Erie (determined to be safer than a headquarters in Lake Huron), an official charter was signed by North Ohio, Kent-Lambton, Indiana, Niagara, UPR, Makinac-Boise, and Green Bay. Two years later, the common currency was developed.
