This nation no longer exists. The Empire of European States (Latin: Imperium Statuum Europeanorum; German: Reich der Europäischen Staaten), informally known as Europa and by the governing European Nation Party as Weltreich Europa, is a country which comprises much of the former European Union. The Empire was proclaimed on July 27, 2010, at the end of the Continental Revolution, and is structured as an imperial federation led by the supreme sovereign, the European Emperor, presently Vincent I of Europa. Europa shares borders with its protectorates EIP Britain, EIP Scandinavia, EIP Switzerland, and the South-East Europe Control Authority, and with the foreign states Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey. Across the Straits of Gibraltar it faces the North African Imperial Control Authority.
