History

June 2011 - Jan 2013

On the 11th of June, the micronational version of the European Union was founded by the Dale Empire and the Grand Barony of Voltar. The next day the first treaty was released, and thereafter a current treaty for the European Union (Micronational) was released.

On the 21st King Danny Clarke offered Emperor Felix I from the Empire of Arboria to join the EUM from eastern Europe and they accepted the offer to become a member of the EUM and the first member from mainland Europe, eastern Europe and the first Polish micronation to be a member of the EUM.

Not long after the creation of the European Union(Micronational) the Dale Empire, Voltar and Empire of Arboria moved from Wikia to MicroWiki while leaving the European Union(Micronational) behind. The micronations later created the Triple Alliance on July 28, 2011, later to become the Inter-Micronational Treaty Organisation or IMTO.

Jan 2013 - June 2014

With the collapse of the headship of the union, HRH Prince Eugenio II took it upon himself to revitalize the union by taking over the presidency. HRH Prince Eugenio II renamed the presidency to the secretary, to indicate that no (Micro)nation is above, or more valued then, another. All are equal, All are distinct and diverse. Only in unity, our goals shall be reached. Since no one has contested, HRH Prince Eugenio II has taken over of the provisional presidency, no elections will be held until, such time that a contestant speaks up, and would want the seat of secretary, then elections will be held.

Anerkannte Zustände

All micronations that claim real land anywhere in Europe, are automatically recognized as a (micro) nation by the EUM.

Structure of the EUM

The European Security Council

The European Security Council (ESC) forms the EUM's governing core in the capital of East Evinsa; East Noelamsterdam. One political member of each of the member states has the right to speak for the council to decide together. This council checks if the member countries are reliable and real.Get in contact with the Secretary-General if something is wrong with a member country. This council also has a duty which is to contact the member states to increase the communication and the network between micronations. Also to encourage and invite other European micronations to join.

The European Justice Council

The justice council is the governing body in the capital of East Evinsa ; East Noelamsterdam. Council aims to be an opportunity for citizens of EUM to get in contact with their country if their nation is violating human rights and does not respect the universal freedoms or if their nation is guilty of the use of illegal internet activities (hacking and viruses) . The European Justice Council interview the head of the member nation and examine the case (to figure out if the country is guilty or not , after the decision if the nation is guilty for breaking the rule(s) of membership, EUM will expel that nation from EUM after having been warned once.

High Chancellor

Oversees the meetings and appoints each turn of the invited speaker. Oversees that the debates follow a professional and respectful order of turns.

Vice Chancellor

Secretary-General

The position of secretary-general is merely an administrative function. The secretary-general updates and organizes the EUM page and enters the (new) info. His position does not expire, nor does he need to be elected/re-elected, for he is just the one who organizes and updates the page.

Terms

(High/Vice)Chancellor positions are for one-year terms, after which a (High/Vice)Chancellor can be re-elected, up to four times in a row. After a 4 year term, the (High/Vice)Chancellor must step down. But can be re-elected after a year of repose.

International currency

MicroEuro ©

The EUM does not propose to introduce an international currency for its members since there are already two international currencies out there: the Micro Euro Currency (M€C) and the Micro. If a nation wanted to join an international currency they could join either one of these two. No nation will be forced to join, nor does the EUM recommend one international currency over the other. This is entirely up to the government of the member nation to decide. (Although it would make sense for a micronation located in the Eurozone to adopt the MicroEuro, since the MicroEuro would be by default 1M€ = 1€, and same wise it would make sense for a micronation located outside the Eurozone to adopt the Micro; recommended peg for the Micro would be 1M = 1$US).

What the EUM would recommend is that the local micronation currencies of member nations are pegged to a known currency, so the EUM is able to calculate it's worth within the currency community.

Current Pegs:

Trade

The EUM does not enforce any member nation to accept to form free trade agreements with other EUM members, rather the EUM encourages members to have fair trade agreements between each other. No the less, trade agreements, are agreements made, between individual nations. The EUM does not intervene in this and does not consider this a European matter. The national sovereignty, in this case, takes precedence.

This issue may be re-addressed again in May 2023!

Avalon Agreement

Since there were not enough votes, supporting the Avalon agreement, it has not become an all EUM members agreement, like the Schengen agreement. (this plan has now been shelved.) The Avalon agreement, however, is not dead. It has become the passport travel agreement between the Templar Kingdom and Lyonesse only. No other nations have Avalon agreement rights in either The Templar Kingdom or Lyonesse. Citizens of all other nations will need valid passport and visas to enter Avalon Agreement nations.

  • The Templar Kingdom... supports/agrees to (the Avalon Agreement) stipulation: [entry with valid passport/but no border-crossing visa is needed for Avalon Agreement nations only] all other nations need a valid border-crossing visa [cost: 1(╬) ] HolyLand (talk) 21:27, May 28, 2013 (UTC)
    • Union Beaulosagñese member nations, are Avalon Agreement members by default and do not need Valid Visa to enter the Templar Kingdom.
  • Lyonesse... supports/agrees to (the Avalon Agreement) stipulation: [entry with valid passport/but no border-crossing visa is needed for Avalon Agreement nations only] Lothian 1 (talk) 22:08, May 28, 2013 (UTC)

This issue will not be re-addressed!

Covid 2020 issue

In this time of concern (that nations have concerning Covid-19), the EUM is not going to make central rules for all EUM nations. The individual/independent micronations can make their own decisions on the matter.

For one, the Templar Kingdom is not installing any measures to restrict the movement of its citizens or forcing its citizen to have to wear a mask and follows in this, the example set by Sweden. (going for herd immunity). Templar Kingdom citizens that want to wear a mask because they are in the risk group, are urged to wear an FDA approved one, not just any flimsy piece of cloth. Other micronations might want to do a different approach on the issue and that is their sovereign right. On neither of these to perspectives, the EUM will have an opinion.

Identical flag issue

Voting has closed, and no one voted in favor of identical flags being allowed. (3 voted against and one abstained from voting.) Therefore it has come to pass, that even though a nation can choose to have any flag it likes, (the EUM will not interfere in local politics) the EUM will not recognise the flag as an official inside the EUM. Also, the EUM has come to an agreement that, an ever so slight difference to a flag is recognized as a separate/distinguished flag.

Amendment Clause 1.1: The ruling by voting members, has become as follows, to use a flag of a UN Nation is fine, no problem, use it on your own homepage, and use it in your own diplomatic papers great, the EUM will respect it, but we can not post the identical flags in the registration of the EUM. that is it, that is all. It was felt by the EUM members, that if an identical (UN nation) flag can be used, what stops one from using a identical (EUM) member flag? None liked that idea.

Amendment Clause 1.1a: Identical flags to UN nations (only) is allowed, they even have the right to be raised in the EUM, to be registered in the EUM records, The only exception is on Micronational flags, of these no identical flags is allowed. (unless the provincial flag is the same as the national flag)

This issue may be re-addressed again in May 2022!

Sovereign territory

Every member of the EUM, must respect (and not claim territory part of) another micronations/member-state territory. New members who would like to join the EUM may only lay claim to territory not belonging to another micronation. Any micronation who claims territory belonging to an already existing/older micronation must relinquish, his claim, if not, the proposed member can not join the union. Territory claims are based on who has laid claim to the contested territory, first. Whether the micronation was/is/or wants to be a member of the EUM is irrelevant; the oldest claim will stand.

Amendment Clause 1.1:
All micronations claiming 'world' or 'galactic' domination are automatically not recognized by the EUM and can not apply for membership in the EUM,  unless the world dominance claim is dropped.

This issue may be re-addressed again in May 2023!

"EExit" Policy of East Evinsa

EExit Policy From The EUM refers to policy of East Evinsa to leave the union which is prepared after ignorance of the union towards serious cases and violations in the fields of universal freedoms and civil rights.

On 10 May 2020, East Evinsa became an official member of European Union of Micronations. Celebrations across the whole micronation took place, schools -such as 10th may European High School- and streets named after this event. East Evinsa Ministry of Foreign Affairs got a lot of attention from the whole citizens. Citizens of East Evinsa celebrated this historical moments through an online meeting between federal areas and mainland due to COVID-19 measures taken by the Ministry of Health.

After a few weeks from membership, a case brought to the National Supreme Court located in the East Noelamsterdam and after the investigation held by the East Evinsa Ministry of Justice, government found guilty by the investigators because of violating civil rights, universal freedoms and citizenship rights of a citizen. Even the Justice Council of the European Union of Micronations is located in the East Noelamsterdam, East Evinsa is still responsible to report the case to the leaders of the union. Besides, citizens also asked and applied to the council to report the situation as well as government did. East Evinsa Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported the cases and criminal records to the union many times as planned in order to ask for help, guidance and suggestions to solve the conflict regarding rights violations which increase day by day. National authorities also mention that because of the serious and dangerous factors they were unable to provide the required services and those factors are external so can not be solved by government.

After months and months, no one from the Europen Union of Micronations replied or had any statement regarding to this urgent situation. East Evinsa Ministry of Justice stated that according to the current rules of the union, violation towards universal freedoms is illegal within the whole member countries. Despite of the law and rules, no one investigated or replied to the national authorities of East Evinsa in order to bring a solution for the problem.

This case obviously shows that the union violated its own rules as well citizens priorities for the freedom because of this, East Evinsa formed a policy regarding exiting from the membership but the authorities are not sure about the policy since no one from the union still knows that it is a really great and urgent deal for citizens across the East Evinsa.
