The Unification of Europe

Europe as a continent has stood unique amidst other continents. More smaller nations are compacted into one land mass than in any other, and several have repeatedly maintained status as world powers over the past millenia. Europe is used to war as imperialist powers struggle over borders and resource control. While the notion of a unified Europe, or a Europe that shares common money systems, constitutional and judicial ideals and other unifying forces is not new, it is none the less a powerful force and imagery in the modern Western World. Attempts at unification have occurred through two major entities: The EC (European Commonwealth) and the EU the European Union. Each will be briefly discussed. The EC already has established constitutional and legal structures which the attending countries agree to recognize even in supercession of their own. Great Britain is an example of a country which has done this.

The Eurodollar is already in use across Europe establishing a unified currency, doing away with the cumbersome money exchange systems.
