 The United States of North Aegea, commonly known as the United States, are a constitutional republican supranational Union and Confederacy of eighteen free, independent, and sovereign States located in North Aegea and Oceania. The Seat of the Government of the Union is the Fœderal Capital Territory; the entire FCT is legally an international zone that is by Treaty established and governed, and which is surrounded on all sides by the State of California. The Union is bordered to the north by the United Commonwealths of Canada (from west to east: the commonwealths of Kootenai, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario); to the south by the Mexican Federal Republic (from west to east, the states of Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila de Zaragoza, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas) and the Gulf of Mexico; to the east by the Atlantic Ocean; and to the west by the Pacific Ocean. Within the Union, passport controls have been abolished. USNA policies aim to ensure the free movement of people, goods, services, and capital; and the United States maintain a common policy on external trade, a common foreign policy, and a common defense policy. However, Matters of internal Trade, that is Trade confined solely within a single State, are solely regulated by the States respectively. Of the eighteen States, one (Hawaiʻi) is organized as a parliamentary democracy within a constitutional monarchy, while the remaining seventeen are organized as presidential republics. All eighteen States are unitary states, and the level and scope of autonomy afforded to local governments in each of them varies from one State to another.
