Resolves positively if there is a pan-European military force created before 2030. This might be an EU army or the army could be under the command of another institution.

See the same market for 2040: https://manifold.markets/B/will-a-european-or-eu-army-be-creat

To resolve positively,

  • the army would be under the command of a body with representation from among current EU-27 European Union countries (or their successors) totalling more than 200 million people in population.

  • the commanding body would not have representation from the United States (as NATO does)

  • the commanding body may have representation from countries in Europe that are not members of the EU.

  • Members of this armed service may be permanently assigned to the pan-European army, or temporarily under its command, assigned by their respective national armies.

  • The command infrastructure would give orders directly to the military force rather than going through national army command subject to individual nations' approval

  • There must be at least 100,000 active service personnel at one time. By comparison, France currently commands 203,000 Germany 183,000, and the United States 1,400,000.

If a single eu country opts out of this, does this question resolve as no?

@MalachiteEagle Yes. See the first bullet point in the fine-print.

Isn't it likely that we will get an EU army where at least one member of the EU opts out?

@MalachiteEagle I don't know, but in that scenario there would be representation form current EU-27 EU countries that total more than 200 million people in population, so the market would resolve yes.

@B Ishould add the word "among" to that to make it clearer.
