The Hanoverian Union (Dutch: Hannoveraanse Unie French: Union hanovrienne Luxembourgish: Hannoverescher Unioun) is a politico-economic union consisting of three neighbouring countries in Western Europe, namely the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, all three of which are constitutional monarchies with a single Hanoverian monarch as their respective head of state, currently Queen/Grand Duchess Alexandra. Formed in 1946 as a result of the Brussels Agreement between the governments of all three countries, the organisation mainly promotes intergovernmental cooperation between its three member states, with the reigning Hanoverian monarch being promoted and seen as a common and unifying identity between the three countries. With an estimated total population of 105 million, the union covers a total area of approximately 365,754.4 km2 (141,218.6 sq mi), while otherwise boasting the third largest economy in the world at $5.305 trillion.
The organisation's agenda is mainly decided and enacted by a legislative body, known as the Executive Council of the Hanoverian Union, which is made up of approximately four members and is overseen by the President of the Hanoverian Union. By convention, the council would come into session every fifteen years where on each occasion, members would decide on a new agenda, which, upon coming into force, would be officially known as a "Trinational Plan", with the term referring to the tripartite nature of the organisation, which is made up of approximately three member states. However, while the President of the Hanoverian Union oversees the functions of the Executive Council, it is otherwise led and chaired by a chairman, who, in turn, is assisted by a deputy chairman. Meanwhile, the organisation's agendas are carefully recorded and later archived by the organisation's secretary, an office that is usually held by the next-in-line to the chairmanship.
