The Eastern European League (EEL) is an economic, political and military union of 13 member states, located primarily in Eastern Europe. Committed to regional integration and security, the EEL was established by the Treaty of Lodz on 21 December 2036 shortly after the creation of POTA and the end of the Flood War. With over 400 million citizens, the EEL generates the second largest economy in the world by nominal GDP and the third largest by per capita GDP.
