Enlightened Union of Nations (also known as EUN). Sovereign nations created by people, decided to band together in the hopes of an EU type of government. All it took was one man and a vision on August 23, 2008, The Founding Father: Trevor Fradgley of Paledomia. His vision stood:
Calling all smaller nations. When the time for war and trade comes (the coming updates) the superpowers will of course have the advantage unless we band together in an EU type association of mutual respect, trade and military support.
During 2010, EUN has been turned into a Permanent Dictatorship by the Emperor and Supreme Commander, Lord Grand Master Exequiel, from the Nacatomical Galaxy of Sacro Dominado. Legislature has been overriden by his command and all of EUN military forces are directly under his supervision. Lord Exequiel is well known for having been EUN's Ambassador, Chancellor, Secretary of State, and Executive, for having commanded EUN troops against Directorate and, during democracy, for having formed and strenghtened alliances with many nations and factions.
During 2011, EUN has changed its government to be just as Sacro Dominado's: An Emperor, and Councellors. All military forces have gone under the Emperor's command and the nations are to remain independent. The title of Emperor ad Eternum has been self claimed by Lord Exequiel (SD's Lord Ten).

2: You must accept a member of the EUN as your ally.
3: You cannot make a member of the EUN your enemy.
