The United Republic of Europia, also referred to as Europia United or the E.U., was created around the time of the Industrial Revolution, following Napoleon Bonaparte's successful invasion and occupation of the British Isles, causing the royal family to be exiled to their American colonies, which would later become the Holy Britannian Empire after Washington's failed rebellion. Due to the export of revolution and war throughout Europe, a man named Napoleon managed to seize much power and authority. After he attempts to form an empire with himself as emperor, the revolutionaries execute him via guillotine. This was the turning point of Europe's history, and with this the E.U became a democratic region.
