The European Hegemony was a somewhat loose alliance in the European region on Earth formed in the early 22nd century. Jean-Luc Picard described the Hegemony as one of the first steps toward a United Earth government, which was founded by 2150. By the 24th century, the Hegemony no longer existed. (TNG: "Up The Long Ladder", "The Price", "Attached")
A distress call in common use by the European Hegemony between 2123 and 2190 was sent from the Ficus sector by the Bringloidi, and was received in 2365 by Starfleet. (TNG: "Up The Long Ladder")
It is possible that the European Hegemony was envisioned as an outgrowth of the European Economic Community, a supranational organization that existed when "Up The Long Ladder" was written in 1989, and that eventually became the modern-day European Union.
