The European Union

A supranational union of mostly European states emerging from a collection of economic agreements, the "European Union" officially came to be in 1993, preceded by the European Economic Community established in 1957, growing from six states to twenty eight before the Human-Vannai War in 2014.
Coordination across NATO was hampered severely by the destruction of humanity's satellites, causing the member nations of the EU to fall back on the European Defense Union working in parallel with the significant (and now more or less stranded) American military forces stationed in Europe at the time. The EDU was organized into the European Continental Army, headquartered in Ramstein AB, Germany, and primarily organized through four battlegroups: Nordic Battlegroup (Sweden, Finland, Norway, Estonia, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania), Visegrad Battlegroup (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary), Mediterranean Battlegroup (Spain, Italy) and Balkan Battlegroup (Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine). A fifth battlegroup, Central Battlegroup, consisted of Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands, and remained on standby as a reserve force.
Over the course of the war, the EU would become increasingly less cohesive, until it essentially only existed on paper to provide a framework for the ECA, the battlegroups it itself was made of all but acting independently of one another by 2015. Lack of faith in the EU's labyrinthine bureaucracy would see a referendum be held in 2019, ending in a vote for the EU to be dissolved and replaced by a federation.
