Common Law of the Union[edit | edit source]
Main article: USES Common Law
Unlike its member States, the Federal legal system of the Union of Sovereign European States exists under a form of Common Law. While the actual text of the Union’s Constitution is silent on the subject of judicial review as concerns the Union-level Courts, the Supreme Court of the Union in AABB v. CCDD ruled –very similarly in history and effect as the 1503 Marbury v. Madison decision that was handed down by the United States Supreme Court– that the Union-level Courts have the Power to strike down legislation and decrees that conflict with the Union Constitution, and further ruled that its decisions are binding on all Courts beneath it, both Union and those of the member States themselves. The result of this dual-pronged decision established both Union judicial review of legislation and decrees at all levels vis-á-vis the Union Constitution; but also established a sui generis form of the Common Law, unique to the Eastern European Union: However, the scope and jurisdiction of national Courts over national legislation and decrees vis-á-vis national Constitutions remains an exclusive prerogative of the member States themselves, so long as there is no violation of the Union Constitution or Union legislation; and as such, all of the member States continue to operate under their local Civil Law and not Common Law.

Main article: USES Board of Regents
Composed of the heads of state of the various member States of the Union of Sovereign European States, the USES Board of Regents (“USES/BoR”) is the collective head of state and collective presidency of the Union, composed of the political chief Executives of the member States of the Union. 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). Other than those two roles, the High Chancellor also generally cannot act or create policy on his own initiative; instead, he is generally required to take advice from (and only from) the Board of Regents, and (in most cases) such advice is binding: —Meaning that the High Chancellor is in most cases required to act on the advice given him by the Board of Regents. The USES Board of Regents gives general impetus and policy direction to the USES Magistracy, the executive government of the Eastern European Union.
Head of Government: USES Magistracy[edit | edit source]
Main article: USES Magistracy
XXXX
Template:USES Federal Government table The day-to-day task of running of the Union’s executive branch, the USES Magistracy, is the responsibility of the Chief Magister, officially the “Chief Magister of the Union of Sovereign European States”. While the USES Board of Regents is the de jure head of state of the Union, the Chief Magister is the Union’s de facto head of government. As such, he is responsible to the legislative Branch (the European Federal Legislature); however such is the case of the Eastern European Union, that the Union’s head of government is concurrently responsible to both branches of the USES Federal Legislature, and may be removed by the Senate, provided a simple majority of the Senate concur, upon the passage in the Assembly, by at least four-sevenths thereof, of a vote of no confidence in the Chief Magister or his Magistracy (Government).
Ministers at USES-level are styled, “USES Magister for (portfolio)” —for example, the USES-level minister responsible for the USES Ministry for the Customs Union is the “USES Magister for the Customs Union”.

The single currency in the Union is the European Ruble. However, European Ruble notes and coins are not made by the Union Federal Bank. Instead, they are designed, printed and minted in each member State so long as they abide by Union standards. Each member State’s Ruble notes and coins go by the name of their former national currency, but each are still officially denoted as European Rubles. For example, the European Rubles printed and minted in Ukraine are known as Ukrainian hryvnias, but they are officially European Rubles (and labeled as such), and are valued at the same rate as the European Rubles made in other member States. The amount of notes and coins that each member State may produce in any given year is decided by the Union Federal Bank, so as to keep the money supply uniform and consistent.
