Eastern Union
From Dyos Wiki
The Eastern Union is a federation comprised of the nations situated in Eastern Europe and other former Soviet Socialist Republics. The Union was established in a bloodless coup on 22 October, 2006, after the Ukrainian army, under direction from the Norse nobleman Thorvald of Lym, invaded Russia.
The government of the Eastern Union, while technically autocratic, most strongly resembles a federal republic. While each nation retains its own separate governmental body and general autonomy, the supreme federal government, known as the Union Legislature, oversees the management of the federation as a whole, and is responsible for major international dealings and establishing governmental standards that the countries are encouraged to strive towards.
The Eastern Union is currently headed by its founder, Thorvald of Lym. He is effectively dictator of the federation, holding the official title of Supreme Prime Minister for Life. Despite this omnipotent position, he rarely makes decisions without consulting a bureau of advisors beforehand, his "most trusted advisor" and de facto second-in-command being his good friend Bjørn.
