Allied Eastern States

The Pact of Iron (PaZ; : Pakt željeza; : Пакт железа; : Σύμφωνο του Σιδήρου), also known as The Iron Pact or Pact for short, is a coalition of like minded nations opposed to international interference and communism. Members of the Pact generally support each other economically and militarily. The Pact is officially a defense organisation, but regularly funds right-wing groups and the destabilization of enemy states in Eastern Artemian countries. The abbreviation "PaZ" is taken from the Rovsnoski translation.

The Pact of Iron was signed into existence on July 11th 2001 by Ataman Yulian Antonovich of Lestykhol, Emperor Chiron IV of Helinika and Grand Marshal Viktor Martić of Rovsnoska in Krevnigrad to counter what they believed to be increased Yarovar and League of Free Nations influence within the region. Svenskt became an observer shortly after to gain a larger economic influence within Eastern Artemia and support closely ideological nations.
