Despite valiant efforts, the previous iterations of the European Union — from V1 through V8 — each faced insurmountable challenges. It's time to learn from history and build something better.
Too ambitious, too soon. Nations weren't ready to surrender sovereignty in 1951.
Focused on coal and steel, but neglected the digital revolution of the 1970s.
Political conflicts undermined the foundations of cooperation in the 1980s.
The Euro launched without proper stabilization mechanisms. We won't make that mistake again.
Growth without adequate integration led to cultural divisions.
Too many regulations, not enough innovation. Europe stagnated.
Too little, too late on sustainability initiatives.
Failed to create European tech champions. Silicon Valley and Asia dominated.
The Ninth Union represents our collective wisdom and determination to fulfill Europe's true potential.
V9 will position Europe as a global beacon of hope, innovation, and cultural renaissance. We're not just another economic bloc — we're a civilizational project.
Eight versions of mistakes have taught us valuable lessons. V9 incorporates the successful elements of past unions while boldly reimagining the flawed components.
Technology, sustainability, and democratic values will form the trinity of our approach. V9 will lead humanity's response to climate change, AI development, and space colonization.
These core principles shape our vision for a renewed European project.
Freedom of thought, expression, and innovation drive our progress.
Collaboration across borders to solve humanity's greatest challenges.
Open governance and participatory democracy at unprecedented scale.
Every policy and initiative begins with environmental impact assessment.
Social protection and human rights as non-negotiable foundations.
Preparing European civilization for the next frontier of human existence.
Become a founding Visionary of V9 and help define Europe's future.
"We stand at the dawn of Europe's ninth attempt at unity, wiser for our failures and bolder in our aspirations. Through V9, we envision not merely a political or economic alliance, but a civilization-scale project that transcends borders, embraces innovation, and preserves our shared cultural heritage. The challenges of the 2030s—climate transformation, technological revolution, demographic shifts—require nothing less than a complete reimagining of what cooperation means. V9 is not just the next version; it is the necessary version."Download Full Manifesto
