The European Union of 2100 grew slowly, with roots in many European
institutions of the late 20th century: the European Economic Community
(EEC), the Council for Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE),
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and so on. Even the United
Nations became a cornerstone of European unity, after its headquarters
moved to Europe.

Currently the dominant institution in the Union is the European Parliament,
a one-house legislature composed of representatives from all of the
member states. Since revisions to the Union Charter in 2089, half of the representatives
to Parliament are chosen randomly from the voting populations
of the member states. The other half are elected by a more traditional popular
vote. The Parliament has extensive human staff, and also maintains
what may be the most powerful battery of sapient AIs in the world. These
high-powered infomorphs exist to gather and correlate information for the
members of Parliament, especially those “amateur legislators” who are
selected by lot.

The European Union has taken on many of the functions of a supranational
government. Laws passed by the European Parliament are considered
to be treaties; although they are binding on all members, they must be
implemented by each member state through its own legislative process.
Before the Parliament even votes on a new law, lengthy negotiations
must be held to build consensus among the member states. Meanwhile,
the Union’s bureaucratic processes are quite complex,
despite several rounds of streamlining reform during the past century.
All in all, the Union has difficulty making new policies quickly
or responding to sudden crises.

Citizens of the Union enjoy complete freedom to travel, work,
and do business anywhere within its borders. This has made Europe
(with outlying areas in North America and the Middle East) the world’s
largest and wealthiest free-trade zone. Not all Union members enjoy the
same high standard of living, but the core nations in Western Europe are the
richest on Earth.

Significant local distinctions remain within the European Union,
although most citizens have a strong sense of identity as members of “the
world’s highest civilization.” Many Europeans tend to think of themselves
as citizens of their own particular region first, of Europe as a whole
second, and of their nation-state last (if at all). For example, a German in
2100 is likely to think of himself as a Bavarian, a Berliner, or a
Rhinelander rather than a German.

Europeans tend to have a quiet confidence in their identity as Europeans.
Their corner of civilization is the wealthiest, most stable, and most
technologically advanced of any. There are no serious threats on the horizon.
European politics can be contentious, but the essential unity of
Europe is beyond a doubt. Many Europeans think of the Union as a template
for eventual world government, a view bolstered by the fact that
nations in regions as distant as North America and the Middle East have
become productive members.
