Commonwealth of European States

The **Commonwealth of European States** (**CoES**) is a union of all nations in Europe, including Russia and Turkey. The CoES is the direct successor to the failed European Union. The Commonwealth is bordered from the east by the Asia-Pacific Coalition, to the south by the Democratic League of Central States, and across the Atlantic Ocean to the west by the American Union; the only state the CoES does not closely border is the United African Initiative.

## Legislature of the Commonwealth of European States

The Commonwealth operates a Presidential Parliamentary system. The President exercises the full power of the executive, the Prime Minister has heavy influence in Parliament, and represents the cabinet, none of whom are members.

    The Legislative branch meets primarily in Strasbourg, France. The Strasbourg Assembly is the supreme lawmaking body in the commonwealth, apart from in times of crisis, when the President can sign in new laws with only the approval of the cabinet members present in a crisis meeting.

Each group of states within the Commonwealth has it's own legislature. Each legislature consists of 751 members. This legislature will approve the allocation of state funding, this will result in differential funding dependant on which legislature controls the sector. Currently the legislatures are as follows:
