Majatran Union (Modern)

The Majatran Union (MU) is a multi-national, inter-governmental union made up of Majatran nations. It was founded in 3580 and to this day continues to provide a forum for the resolution of issues between Majatran states.

The MU was founded on a goal of peace, stability, human rights protection and unity. It promotes these goals through a myriad of institutions and programs.

History
Before the rise of the MU, the Union of Majatran Nations (UMN) was the main organization promoting Majatran peace and unity. However as the 3500's wore on, it became increasingly clear that the UMN did not have the institutional capacity to adapt and meet the changing conditions of Majatran politics. Combined with high profile human rights failures, an uneasy public tie to Zardugal and gridlocked institutions the organization began to fall apart. The final nail in the coffin was the creation of the Augustan Empire (3607) which ended most modern Pan-Majatran unity efforts.

After the fall of the Augustans however that spirit was re-kindled and a new, more organzied Majatran Union arose and since then 13 out of the 16 Majatran nations are members of the MU.

Organization
The Charter of the Majatran Union specifically lays out the "Four Institutions" of the Majatran Union: Council of Majatra, Majatran Permanent Court of Justice, Permanent Secretariat of Majatran and the Majatran Peace and Security Council. However, many Majatran legal experts see the Council as the prima inter pares (first among equals) given its unique position to appoint the members of the other bodies.

Council of Majatra
The Council of Majatra (CoM) is the main body of the MU. It is considered to be the highest organ and most important of the Institutions with broad powers over the conduct of the MU.
