The Telmerian Union (TU) is an economic union and regional organization consisting of four states of Telmeria, primarly aimed at economic integration among them. The union has a combined estimated population of over 182 million and an estimated GDP of around $4.84 trillion. The TU has strived to increase the free movement of goods, services and people between the nations of Telmeria, enact internationally binding decisions on maintaining common policies, and many ideas surrounding more Telmerian unionism and integration have emerged due to the TU's success of unifying its member states, particularly following the conclusion of the Great Game. The union is headed by the High Secretariat and a respective General Secretary, the Council of the Telmerian Union and the Telmerian Parliamentary Assembly; all institution are headquartered in Lilienburg City.
As a supranational organization, it has made efforts to synchronise national judiciary into a uniform set of laws that apply to all members. An internal customs union (Telmerian Joint Customs Union, TJCU) was developed in 1990, coming into effect in 1992, and has abolished passport control for travel within the TU. It also achieved a single market (Telmerian Single Market, TSM) in 1994. These agreements also partially extended to and integrated with the members of the Berean Economic Community (BEC), establishing the Common Berean Economic Area (CBEA) of nine states in 2000. One of the largest movements of further integration is the establishment of a common currency and monetary union between the member states, which is currently debated.
The TU was formally founded in the Treaty of Lilienburg, signed into effect on 21 March 1984 between Mascylla, Lilienburg and Temaria as the Inner Three of the union.
