Europu

Europu is a fictional or speculative term used in world-building and alternate-history contexts to denote a broad continental region corresponding roughly to the European landmass.

Geography and boundaries are typically mapped onto Europe proper, including the Iberian Peninsula to the west, the Balkan and Baltic regions to the southeast and northeast, and sometimes extending into northern Asia or the Arctic, depending on the author’s design.

History and development in Europu’s many treatments usually trace a modern identity to a federation or union formed after shared external threats or economic integration, while other narratives depict a longer historical arc from ancient city-states to a unified polity.

Politics and governance in Europu vary widely across works; common models include a parliamentary republic, a constitutional federation with a central government and semi-autonomous regions, or a fully unified federal state.

Economy and infrastructure are generally described as highly developed, featuring diversified manufacturing, services, high-tech industries, and integrated transportation and digital networks that bind the region together.

Culture and society portray Europu as multilingual and culturally diverse, with shared educational and scientific traditions, a strong emphasis on the arts, and cross-border institutions that echo real-world European-inspired ideas.

Relation to real Europe: Europu overlaps conceptually with the geographic area of Europe but remains a fictional construct and should not be conflated with actual political entities.

In fiction, Europu is described in world-building guides and speculative works rather than real-world sources.
