ITI

ITI is the Central NUTS-1 EU Statistics region of Italy.  It comprises of the 4 Italian regions of Lazio, Toscano, Umbria, and Marche.  Each of these 4 regions has provinces.  One of the provinces, Roma, was renamed città metropolitana di Roma Capitale.

• Central Italy (ITI) –> IT5 (Should have a website) www.spqr.group/it5
  • Toscana (ITI1) -> IT51  www.regione.toscana.it
  • Umbria (ITI2) -> IT52  www.regione.umbria.it
  • Marche (ITI3) -> IT53  www.regione.marche.it
  • Lazio (ITI4) -> IT54  www.regione.lazio.it  Roma (ITI43) -> IT543 www.cittametropolitanaroma.it

In Europe, a new system of regions is emerging. For instance, France has 14 regions, with the Isle de France, including Paris, being the first. Germany, aligning with its 16 states, and Belgium has three regions. Estonia opts for a single region, corresponding to the entire country. The Netherlands and Spain have four and seven regions, respectively.

Within the European Union’s 27 countries (the UK was the 28th until its recent departure), England is divided into nine regions, while Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales each form one region. Bulgaria has two regions, Romania has four, and Italy has five, with Rome situated in the central region. This central region in Italy comprises Lazio, Marches, Tuscany, and Umbria.

Comparing governance, Germany and France represent their entire countries at the European Parliament, while Belgium’s three regions are represented separately. The idea of a standardized term for the central region within the five regions of Italy is proposed, akin to Germany’s Länder.

Contemplating global perspectives, there’s a geographical orientation with Rome in central Europe, Europe to the north, America to the west, Africa to the south, and Asia to the east. A suggestion is made to develop a similar system in the U.S., mirroring historical orientation.

Further considerations involve proposing a UAP program in Europe, akin to the USA, and the idea of the EU having a space force. The UK’s NATO involvement, like the EU and other European countries, is also noted. Exploring the historical backdrop, including remnants of the Swedish and Danish Empires, emphasizes the layers of development in the EU, with Brussels identified as its central region.

For more detailed information, one can explore specific regions through websites like https://be.brussels allowing a comprehensive understanding of the evolving regional landscape in Europe.

Belgium comprises three regions: Flanders in the north, Wallonia in the south, and the Brussels-Capital Region. Each has its own parliament and website. Explore Wallonia’s parliament at https://www.parlement-wallonie.be, Flanders’ parliament at https://www.vlaamsparlement.be, and the Brussels region’s parliament at http://www.parlement.brussels.

Here is the corrected version:

Here is a website from which this map of the European Union came: https://european-union.europa.eu/easy-read_en. We see that Belgium and all three regions have parliaments. To the west, France has 14 regions, each with its own parliament. To the east, Germany has 16 regions, all with parliaments. However, in between them is the Netherlands, which has four regions without parliaments; this needs to be changed. The Netherlands should have four parliaments, each for its four regions. If we look at the rest of the European Union, many other countries have regions without corresponding parliaments; this must be changed.

10 countries join the European Union on 5/1/04. 

1. Estonia 🇪🇪  1
2. Latvia 🇱🇻  1
3. Lithuania 🇱🇹  1
4. Poland 🇵🇱  7
5. Czech Republic 🇨🇿  1
6. Slovakia 🇸🇰  1
7. Hungary 🇭🇺 3
8. Slovenia 🇸🇮 1
9. Malta 🇲🇹 1
10. Cyprus 🇨🇾 1
11. Bulgaria 2
12. Romania 4
13. Croatia 1
14. UK -12

so since 2004, there are 25 new nuts. The UK left the EU but I will add that here as 14. there are 12 nuts in the UK so that makes 13 nuts have been added since 2004.

International Territorial Level (ITL) is a geocode standard for referencing the subdivisions of the United Kingdom for statistical purposes, used by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). From 2003 and until 2020 it functioned as part of the European Union and European Statistical System‘s geocode standard Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics or NUTS.

International Territorial Level – Wikipedia

So let’s take a look at this.  International, regional and city statistics – Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk).

UK International Territorial Levels.  International geographies – Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk)

1. North East (England)
2. North West (England
3. Yorkshire and The Humber
4. East Midlands (England)
5. West Midlands (England)
6. East
7. London
8. South East
9. South West (England)
10. Scotland
11. Wales
12. Northern Ireland

How about we expand the number of regions?  But for now we will look at the NUTS of the EU  there are 27 countries with a total of 92 NUTS .  https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/nuts/overview

This gives a list of these 92 nuts as 1 Jan 2021. So that makes 104 nuts plus ITL combined.

Wien is the Austrian name of Vienna. last night Harvard had the 38th McCloy Harvard Viennese Ball at the Harvard Club of Boston.  I went last year to the 37th McCloy. A few of the same people from last year were there this year.  It was opened up by the Austrian ambassador to the United States Petra Schneebauer. Her office is out of Washington DC.  The website of the embassy is https://www.austria.org. I was trying to talk to her about the concept of creating the AT1 State of Austria based on the AT1 Statistical area of Austria of the NUTS-1 area.

PT is Portugal. There are 3 NUTS-1 level regions. PT1 Continental Portugal, PT2 Azores, PT3 Madeira. It seems that the islands should be combined into one region but that’s a discussion for another day.

I need to build the Dutch region system.  There are four regions within the Netherlands. North, south east and west. This is according to the nuts-1 Europe statistics system based in Luxembourg.  Interesting how the Swedish call this the Tri-city state. It’s a marketing ploy. The center being Eindhoven airport. The Netherlands has 4 nuts that are not organized. They should be set up like German states. The train network is good here.  The East Netherlands was the original basis for this website. I learned it in the western netherlands in 2011 at Utrecht Cathedral. It’s based on the late roman empire structure. But here for the East Netherlands, I’m looking to make it like a german state or a french region. We have Overijssel, Gelderland, and Flevoland. These are 3 provinces.

1. http://www.overijssel.nl/
2. http://www.gelderland.nl/
3. https://www.flevoland.nl/

The 3 provinces wouldn’t go away, but there would be an additional layer between the provinces and the national level.

I was in Berlin.  It’s the capital of Germany.  It’s also a state of germany, one of 16 states.

Estonia is a country in northeastern Europe.  It is a member of the European Union since May 1, 2004. It has one nuts-1 statistics area.  It joined the European Union with nine other countries: Cyprus, Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia. I was going to say how many nuts there are of the countries but that’s more a later thought. Maybe I can figure this out within this Estonia article. So there are 26 other countries besides Estonia in the eu. How about future expansion? And how about integration of the euro in all the countries? Which countries don’t use the euro? Poland, Sweden, czech, Denmark, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, & hungary. 

Madrid is ES3 of the nuts-1 of Spain. More specifically it is the Community of Madrid at website https://www.comunidad.madrid. It is one of the 17 autonomous communities of Spain in accordance to the 1978 constitution. It has Linktree @ComunidadMadrid https://linktr.ee/ComunidadMadrid. There are 7 Agrupacion de Comunidades Autonomas or Groups of Autonomous Communities. Spain needs to update their constitution to make governments for these 7 groups or regions with a website for each just as France did in 2014. The Netherlands had to also. Germany has this a while ago as the 16 nuts-1 regions are the same as the 16 states or lander of Germany. The Netherlands having 4 nuts and France having 14.

Iran is divided into 5 regions called mantaqe. From wikipedia, منطقه‌ها mantaqehâ, singular منطقه mantaqe. They are numbered region 1 through 5. Regions of Iran – Wikipedia is the wiki article. So what I would like is that Iran makes governments for each of these 5 regions.

There are 7 nuts of Poland. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NUTS_statistical_regions_of_Poland.  They have not been grouped into regions. If we stick with the German model of lander then we could accomplish something here. So there would be 7 lander in Poland. We could then build the volkshalle in Berlin and have 23 lander of a greater Germany, 16 being of Germany, 7 of Poland. This is basically Preussen. Preußen is the correct way to write it in German. 

DE2 is Bavaria or Bayern in German. Its website is www.Bayern.de. It has an organized government. The reason I brought it up is that Contabo was started in Munich, which is in Bavaria. Let’s look a bit more at Munich. The first thing I’ll do is look at the Nuts of Germany. NUTS statistical regions of Germany – Wikipedia. Munich is DE212 which is the nuts-3 area within de21 oberbayern. Oberbayern is one of the 7 administrative districts of bayern. It means upper bavaria. Upper bavaria is actually southern bavaria. But the way the river flows, it must flow from that area. Yes, so this is relative to the Danube river and its tributaries flowing downstream. Regierung is the name of the administrative district. The website is www.regierung.oberbayern.bayern.de.

1. Nuts-1 www.bayern.de
2. Nuts-2 www.regierung.oberbayern.bayern.de
3. Nuts-3 www.muenchen.de

This is organized and this makes sense to me.

I woke up thinking about Iceland.  The wiki article for it is NUTS statistical regions of Iceland – Wikipedia.  It is a candidate country for the EU.  It has one nut at both the 1 and 2 levels, IS0, IS00, and 2 for 3 level, is001 and is002.  The is001 is the capital region and is002 is the rest of the country. Below this are 2 lau or local administrative unitary levels.  lau1 has 8 regions which roughly follow the parliamentary constituencies created between 1959 to 2003.  There are actually 6 parliamentary constituencies.  Reykjavik north and south, southwest, northwest, northeast, and south.  There are 64 municipalities at the lau2 level.  Originally lau1 is nuts4 and lau2 is nuts5.

The Alþingi is the parliament.  There are 63 seats:  38 in the government and 25 opposition.

FRE or the Region Hauts-de-France is one of the 13 metropolitan regions of france at website Site officiel de la Région Hauts-de-France – hautsdefrance.fr.  

There are 14 first level regions of france which include the 13 metropolitan regions and 1 overseas region. The 13 metropolitan regions are in the mainland of france which include

1. FR1
2. FRB
3. FRC
4. FRD
5. FRE – Hauts-de-France, literally the Heights of France or Upper France.
6. FRF
7. FRG
8. FRH
9. FRI
10. FRJ
11. FRK
12. FRL
13. FRM
14. FRY – is the overseas region.

The modern region of Normandy was created by the territorial reform of French Regions in 2014 by the merger of Lower Normandy, and Upper Normandy. The new region took effect on 1 January 2016, after the regional elections in December 2015.^[6]

The Regional Council of Normandy, created on 1 January 2016, has 102 members who are elected under a system of proportional representation. The executive consists of a president and vice-presidents. Hervé Morin from the Centre party was elected president of the council in January 2016. The council is based in Caen, making Normandy one of only two regions (the other being Bourgogne-Franche-Comté) where the prefecture and seat of local government are different cities.

The above information is according to Wikipedia article Normandy (administrative region) – Wikipedia

For other references of Normandy, including the cutural, duchy, and Viking, refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy

As an AI language model, I can provide a draft of an EU Constitution, but it is important to note that the creation of an EU Constitution is a complex and highly political process that involves input from legal scholars, politicians, and citizens. This draft is meant to serve as a starting point for discussion and debate, and is by no means a final or complete document.
