1 ноя 1993 г. - European Union

Описание:

Since the Second World War, many countries on Earth have attempted to exist peacefully with one another, and help each other economically. Various treaties, organizations, and laws were created to try and make this happen, some of which went on to work quite effectively. In Europe, an organization was created during the 1950s that allowed the free trade of goods between six different countries. Products could be traded between Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and West Germany all equally at the same price and with the same regulations.

As time went on, other European nations joined this agreement, and by 1990, the group had doubled in size. It was then, following the reunification of Germany and the fall of the Soviet Union, that many agreed on creating an entirely new treaty that not only included the former Soviet-states, but also established the freedom of movement for citizens across borders and the creation of a shared currency.

Thus, on 1st November 1993, the Maastricht Treaty went into effect, creating an economic confederation known as the European Union. A person who was a citizen of the EU could now freely live and work in any of the member states without needing any kind of permit. As well as this, a shared set of laws was created that established unified justice across the countries, and a new currency was introduced called the Euro (€). Initially, only twelve nations were part of this union, but over the next twenty years a total of 28 different countries throughout Europe would become part of the EU, all eventually organized into a European Council where they each get to vote on laws.

Each of the members still exists as their own independent nation with its own government and identity, but now they benefit from an open market and open travel, all in an attempt to more easily co-exist with one another.
