Background:
EuroFed was formed in France after the fall of the French Fifth Republic and the dissolution of the European Union in late 2016. Weeks after its establishment, EuroFed found itself in the middle of a global tension between major western and eastern powers. On November 2nd, 2016, Italy joined EuroFed after its government collapsed due to multiple crisis ,becoming the first nation to join the EuroFed. By combining both nations' armed forces, EuroFed quickly became a global superpower comparable to United States and Russia.
