The '''Egalian Union''', abbreviated '''EgU''', '''EU''' or ''' | The '''Egalian Union''', abbreviated '''EgU''', '''EU''' or '''E6,''' is a political and economic union in Central [[Uletha]], mainly composed of nations in the region of [[Egalia]].

The union is governing common economic, social, and security policies, as well as improving the same with other countries around the world. | ||
The E6 was created by the Treaty of Teplice, which entered into force on September 1, 1982.

The Egalian Union represents the conclusion of a series of efforts to integrate Egalian countries after the Great War. After the fall of various authoritarian regimes in 1960s and early 1970s, new democratic governments in the region sought closer economic, social, and political ties to achieve economic growth and military security. In 1976, the latter caused the signation of the Treaty of Skroj by Drabantia, Mallyore and Zalivnia, which would later be known as the East Egalian Defense Pact (EEDP). | |||
Today, EEDP is considered to be the forerunner and the basis for Treaty of Teplice, signed on August 14, 1982, preceded by national referendums in member states on joining more cohesive political and economic union. After the positive referendum outcome in all three countries, and presidential meeting in Teplice na Jezeře in Drabantia, the Treaty came into power on September 1, 1982, while EEDP officially changed its name to the Egalian Union. | |||
Having signed this act, Drabantia, Mallyore and Zalivnia agreed on a common market that featured the elimination of most barriers to the movement of goods, services, capital, and labour, and a common external trade policy. The large economic boom, cooperation and stability in 1980s (a period popularly called Pax Egaliana) led to thinking on better integrity of member states, regarding not their markets only, but common diplomacy and external foreign policies. Following the democratic changes in Escadia, the reformist government of Mäano Zaumer started to discuss the accession to the Egalian Union. The Nikolovac Meeting in 1990 brought two significant changes to the union: firstly, Escadia was accepted as a full member, becoming the first country to join after the initial agreement; and secondly, the creation of the Parliamentary Assembly, as a first common political body, was arranged. | |||
The territorial coherency, achieved through Escadian accession to the union, made abolishing mutual border control possible. Being effective from January 1, 1992, passport and all other types of border control were discontinued. Thanks to this, up to this day the Egalian Union area mostly functions as a single jurisdiction for international travel purposes, with a common visa policy. | |||
In following years, further integration was attained, mostly through establishing various shared institutions, with the Egalian Trade and Development Bank being the most momentous one. The talks with other two Egalian nations, Beldonia and Podolia, to join the union, started in 1999. Having aligned some laws and trade policies, they finished the accession process on May 1, 2003, making the second enlargement of the Egalian Union. | |||
With $1.6 trillion gross domestic product (PPP) in 2021, the Egalian area accomplished the great economic success, compared to GDP of $140 million in 1985. Although the increased political consolidation between the member states contributed to the rise of Egalosceptic parties in some countries, the support for Egalian unity and further integration remains high in all member states. | |||

The Egalian Union, abbreviated EgU, EU or E6, is a political and economic union in Central Uletha, mainly composed of nations in the region of Egalia. It was founded in 1982 by Drabantia, Mallyore and Zalivnia, and since then has expanded onto three more members. The union is governing common economic, social, and security policies, as well as improving the same with other countries around the world.
The E6 was created by the Treaty of Teplice, which entered into force on September 1, 1982. The treaty was designed to enhance Egalian political and economic integration by creating a single internal market, a unified foreign and security policy, by advancing cooperation in the areas of immigration, asylum, and judicial affairs.
The highest political body of the union, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Egalian Union, is located in Nikolovac, Mallyore.
