The East Ulethan Organization of Intergovernmental Associates (EUOIA) is a hybrid semi-supranational, semi-intergovernmental economic and political union of many member states in Eastern Uletha. Established in 1954 as an successor of the East Ulethan Economic Community (EUEC), the EUOIA has since broadened its influence and authority, becoming a cornerstone of economic and political cooperation in the region. Its core mission is to foster peace, facilitate free trade, and strengthen unity among its member nations, driving collective progress and regional stability.

Membership

In the EUOIA, there many options for membership, although not all are neccessarily fulfilled in the present day.

Member (Full Membership): Should generally be in East Uletha. Members must be willing to agree to all mandatory treaties and recognize the EUOIA's government and governing structure. New members must be approved by 2/3 supermajority of all existing members. Such members can vote in the EUOIA legislature and executive branch. Countries who are full, voting members of another intergovernmental or supranational organization must not be a member in order to reduce conflict of interests.

Observer: Countries that ratified a portion, but not all, mandatory treaties and generally cooperates with the EUOIA on a supranational level in some, parts (such as Ecomar, Cooperation in Justice, etc...). Countries seeking Observer Status must receive 2/3 supermajority vote, and can choose to participate in parilamentary debate (but are prohibited from voting and participating in the executive and judicial branches).

Legislative Process

The EUOIA relies on four "core" institutions to pass, enforce, and review laws. Like many countries, it composes of the Legislature, Executive, and a Judicary.

Legislative Assembly

Viewed as the "lower" house of the Legislature, the assembly can pass bills into law but may not propose mandatory bills. The Legislative Assembly is unique in that it is the only institution direcly elected by the people, rather than appointed by the states. The Legislative Assembly often sends proposals to the Executive Council for consideration into laws.

State Commission

The "upper" house of the Legislature, it is made up of delegates on behalf of each member state, with each member state getting two seats.

Executive Council

Serves as the sole executive body comprising of one delegate from each member state. It is the sole body that can propose laws, and its makeup has to be confirmed by the Legislative Assembly. Its leader, also approved by the Assembly, often serves as the figurehead of the union. The council nominates the makeup of the Court of Justice.

Court of Justice

The highest court in the EUOIA is the Court of Justice, which serves to interpret laws, as well as to ensure that laws are applied uniformly across the whole union.

Types of Laws

Note that "approving" and "signing into law" are different. A bill is signed into law once it is approved in all indicated institutions.

So how do binding and nonbinding treaties work with laws?

Both go through the same process to be enacted
All laws are technically binding, but some are binding to all while others are binding to some.
- Binding to all: Laws that are derived from binding treaties
- Binding to some: Laws that are derived from nonbinding treaties or binding treaties. If this law is part of a treaty that is nonbinding, then only the votes of members who ratified those nonbinding treaties are counted. These laws are only binding to those who signed that treaty. Almost all laws that are binding to some members are part of an suborganizational pact, like open borders, to minimize confusion.
