General
It began in 1913 with the States of Praenutium, Hyrule, Universia and Fictia. With the founding of the Preaenutian Union in 1914 these states soon left. The Union was originally intended to be the Union of the nations in the Clypeum Alliance, but soon transformed into a whole new supernation.

Flag
The flag was designed by @Fictia and @Roitwell to include the main three member's colors, Eleutheria, Fictia, and Universia. Originally the flag had Praenutium with the center bar, but when they left it was changed to Eleutheria.

War of Supremacy
In late 1915 the Great Universal Empire declared war on the Praenutian Union because of widespread distrust of the Union. This came after meticulous planning and spying. The Great Universal Empire moved forces to block the Praenutian Fleets and invaded Kel Romana and worked with the People's Republic of the Amurrhine to invade Inutilia. Fortunately, these invasions were short lived and neither side had any casualties as peace discussions were brought up, they are ongoing.

Government:

The Senate will meet at a planned Federal capital in Imo Mundi, a neutral, federal-administered location outside of all GUE states' control. In the meantime, senators currently meet in the State of Universia

Here are the current count of Senatorial seats for each GUE State:

-Universia: 5 Seats

-Fictia: 5 Seats

-Eleutheria: 5 Seats

-Haluria: 4 Seats

-Valan: 1-2 Seats

-New Carthage: 1 Seat
