Continental Union

A continental union is when countries or regions on the same continent join together and agree to work together. This means they might have some common rules and laws, share resources or have free trade between the countries in the union. Sometimes they even join forces to help each other in times of need. An example of a continental union is the European Union, which is made up of countries in Europe who work together to make life better for everyone in the union.
