Hanseatic League

The Hanseatic League (or Hansa/Hanse) is an international organisation located in northern Europe. The member states of the Hanseatic League are the Nordic-Hanoverian Empire, the Duchy of Kleve, the Norwegian Empire, the Celtic Union, the United Kingdom of the Netherlands and, formerly, the Novgorod Republic.
The combined amount of players in the League is approximately 73 (somewhere between 70 to 85) depending on the source. There isn't a chairman for the organization, instead the leaders of the member nations form a council.

An important project for the Hanseatic League is their planned infrastructure which includes roads, railways, iceroads, searoutes and possibly netherroads. Another important goal of the organization is the defence of their members states, besides the Duchy of Kleve all member states are part of a defence treaty. Also trade and some building projects are part of the League's agenda. The organization in general stands for a close relationship between their members and protect their sovereignity. There is a newspaper, the Hanseatic News which covers international topics. 
Future nations in the baltic- and northsea region could potentially join the organization if they aren't violating hanseatic claims and are stable enough to enforce their own claims, however every new member has to be approved by the council and could be rejected.
So far the Hanseatic League is the largest Alliance/Union in Europe, and considering the nation members' populations, the world. The UK of the Netherlands owns some oversea territories too.
