Please make it more like the EU!
NEW EDITION: The Constitution of the United Sovereign States of Ophion
We, the states of the world in this union have declared the need to globalize and come together. We seek the trade of each others markets and the desire for sharing our bountiful share of the world. Ophion will stand for economic prosperity, peace and as a forum to bring the nations in Ophion together to solve issues confronting our members.
Joining the Union
In order to join the USO the country in question must adopt the policies of the USC. The country will slowly integrate its economy into that of the USO and begin to work in the USO's departments. Integration will be a gradual process and members can submit special agreements to join the union. Once accepted by majority vote they will be considered part of Ophion.
The Parliament, Executive Powers and Provincial Rights

Provincial Rights
The rights of the provinces are second to none in the duty of the states. Provinces may make their own laws, regulations and committees and ministries so long as they do not interfere or go against the Ophion state. The provinces have districts that send senators to parliament. Member states can declare their own wars and go about their own affairs freely.
