6 According to Oppenheim/Lauterpacht:

A Real Union is in existence when two sovereign States are, by an international treaty, recognised by other Powers, linked together for ever under the same monarch, so that they make one and the same International Person. A Real Union is not itself a State, but merely a union of two full sovereign States which together make one single but composite International Person.. . .At present there is no Real Union in existence, that of Sweden-Norway having been dissolved in 1905, and that of Austria-Hungary having come to an end by die collapse of die Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918 . . . .
