European Union

The European Community is confederal semi-presidential economic and monetary union of twenty-nine member States that are primarily located in Europa. The Community has an area of 8614876 km2, and an estimated population (as of 1721) of 629,071,576. The European Community has developed an internal single Market through a standardized system of Laws that apply in all member States. Community policies aim to ensure the free movement of people, goods, services, and capital within the internal Market. A monetary Union was established in 1699 and entered into full force in 1702, and is composed of NUM States which use the Euro currency.

The European Community traces its origin to the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM), formed by the Inner Six countries in 1651 and 1658, respectively.

Head of State: European Board of Regents
Composed of the heads of state of the various member States of the European Community, the European Board of Regents (“EBoR”) is the collective head of state and collective presidency of the European Community. The Head and presiding Officer of the Board of Regents is the High Chancellor, who presides ex officio; and has no Vote except when the Board is equally divided (e.g., he cannot vote except to break a tie).

Head of Government: European Magistracy
XXXX

The day-to-day task of running of the Community’s executive branch, the European Magistracy, is the responsibility of the Chief Magister, officially the “Chief Magister of the European Community”. While the European Board of Regents is the de facto head of state of the European Community, the Chief Magister is the Community’s de facto head of government. As such, he is responsible to the legislative Branch (the European Parliament); however such is the case of the European Community, that the Community’s head of government is concurrently responsible to both branches of the European Parliament, and may be removed by Council, provided a simple majority of Council concur, upon the passage in the Assembly, by at least two-thirds thereof, of a vote of no confidence in the Chief Magister or his Magistracy (Government).

Ministers at European-level are styled, “European Magister for (portfolio)” —for example, the European-level minister responsible for the European Department for the Customs Union is the “European Magister for the Customs Union”.
