The Myrian Union (MU) (Myrian: 密里安联盟, Romanized: Mìlǐānliánméng / Mizuhese: ミリアン連合, Romanized: Miriarengō) is a political and economic union of all nations in the Myrian continent, its primary objectives are the economic integration & cooperation, providing regional security & stability as well as a military alliance amongst member states. Its two member states are the Commonwealth of Aldia and the Fusou Empire, has a total area of 6,621,704 km2 (2,556,654 sq mi) which covers the entire continent of Myria and a combined population of more than 245 million citizens. Some of the most notable policies of the MU is the free movement of goods, servies, capital & people within the MU Common Market, establishment of monetary union (Morazone) in 2012 which came into full force by 2016 where both Aldia & Fusou adopted the Mora as their national currencies, and the ability for the MU to propose and pass laws in certain areas without the need for approval from member states. The latter is only made possible as all member states have agreed to cede some of their sovereignty to the MU, these areas include: the single market, the Morazone, the customs union and the MU's environmental policies. This arrangement has allowed the Union to act unilaterally but only within the areas specifically where member states have given it permission to do so. Internal border checks and passport controls have been abolished and citizens from member states are free to travel, live, and work freely without the need to apply for a visa.

As one of the newest supranational unions, the MU has sought to invite other nations to join whether as full member states, observers or partners in one of its three economic programs: the Myrian Free Trade Area, the Myrian Customs Union or the Myrian Common Market. The MU can trace its origins to the establishment of the Myrian Free Trade Area in 1956. This was when both Aldia & Fusou agreed to promote economic growth & cooperation between themselves and was quickly followed by the Myrian Fisheries Treaty of 1961. An informal intergovernmental forum known as the Association of Myrian Nations was formed in 1970 where the heads of governments & ministers from both Aldia & Fusou would meet on an annual basis to discuss various matters ranging from social issues to economic ventures. The AMN is often considered as the precursor of the MU itself as it was through the 1989 AMN Summit was the Myrian Customs Union was formed. As the decades went on and both Aldia & Fusou became more economically & politically integrated, discussions were held at the highest level of government whether or not to make a more structured organization. Negotiations began in 2008 and finally concluded in 2011. Both countries then held referendums for its citizens, allowing its citizens to choose which path their nations will take. Be it maintain the status quo or to establish the MU. By a majority, the populations of both countries approved for the establishment of the Myrian Union and thus on the 1st of January 2012, the MU was formed.

Government & Politics

The Myrian Union was established through a series of treaties that has been ratified throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. The 2012 Charter of the Myrian Union enshrines these treaties into a single cohesive document, forming the foundations of the Union. The unions powers are granted through the principle of bestowment, and according to this principle member states of the Myrian Union voluntarily cede certain aspects of their sovereignty to the union. As a result, the union is given exclusive rights to act on behalf of all member states in areas where it has been given bestowment by its member states. On the other hand, the union does not have the right to intervene in matters that are outside of the rights that were bestowed upon it. The Myrian Union has seven principal decision making bodies known as Committees, these are: the Myrian Secretariat, the Myrian Quorum, Conclave of the Myrian Union, the Myrian Congress, Tribunal of the Myrian Union, Reserve Bank of Myria and the Audit Board of Myria. Executive powers are exercised by the Myrian Secretariat as it is the only body who posses the powers of legislative initiative allowing it to propose laws whereas both the Conclave of the Myrian Union & the Myrian Congress share powers only to approve/reject legislation and recommend amendments.
