Pan-Artemian Coalition

The Pan-Artemian Coalition is an intergovernmental Economic and Political Union made up of exclusively Artemian nations. The Pan-Artemian Coalition was proclaimed as a successor of the Oradea Pact by Modrovia and Gardarike in 1984 response to growing Artemian conservatism and due to shifting politics across the Artemian continent. The organization implements various political, military and economic treaties signed through out its existence, such as military standardisation, multi-lateral free trade and internal passport and visa unions aiming to create a unified and ever improving Artemia. PAC's Administrative Headquarter resides in Oradea, Modrovia, while the headquarters of Artemian Military Operations resides in Holmgard, Gardarike.

Since its founding, the Pan-Artemian Coalition has admitted ____ new member states increasing the alliance from the original __ to __. The Most recent members state to be added to PAC is Mero-Curgovina on the 7th of March 2006. An additional 3 countries participate in the PAC observer program and enjoy positive relations with the PAC member states, currently 2 countries within the observers program sit outside the Artemian continent. The Pan-Artemian Coalition has actively sought growth in the Eastern and Central Artemian regions, and has continued to grow its international economic presence through its various international trade agreements and observer nations.

History
The foundations for the Pan-Artemian Coalition had been laid as early as 26 January 1965 as internal divisions within the League of Free Nations began to show as the Modrovian government began to express its discontent with the treatment of smaller nations within the League of Free Nations. However, it was not until 1 October 1973 that actions would be taken, with the creation of the Oradea Pact after the signing of the Oradea Accords, which initially only included two member nations, Gardarike and Modrovia. The Oradea Pact introduced a bilateral free trade agreement, a visa union allowing citizens of the respective nations to move between the nations with more freedom, something which had not been seen outside of the existing global intergovernmental organisations and was the first step towards the proclamation of the Pan-Artemian Coalition. In 1976, the Oradea Pact was expanded to include Samotkhe and in the following year Sterndal stirring talks about a new Artemian alliance and creating a growing interest amongst Artemian nations who sought to place Artemia first and remained unaligned with existing intergovernmental organisations such as the League of Free Nations and the North-South Concordat which operated at global level which often led to distrust and lacking relationships between the League of Free Nations and other nations within its Artemian sphere of influence.

The Oradea Pact remained largely an economic pact throughout the late 1970's, however in 1978 proposals for a further confederation and a wider Artemian focus brought on the introduction various new treaties and proposals such as joint infrastructure programs which would build new rail lines to connect Pact members nations under the Artemian Transport Treaty which introduced the Artemian Transport Community that would, in 1979, standardise the transportation standards within the Oradea Pact and its future members in order to further facilitate regional economic growth and movements. The alliance would continue to expand, including Thuyiquakliq in 1981 creating an influential economic zone in Artemia, causing the idea of a new Artemian alliance to resurface amongst Oradea members leading to the proposal of a new Oradea parliament which would be created to grow the Oradea Pact and continue to actively introduce new legislation across the Pact in order to strengthen its member nations, which also brought the suggestion to merge the Artemian Transport Community directly into the Oradea Pact through the parliament.

Discussions of the parliament would drag on through out 1981 until 1984, where it was finally decided after the growth of the Oradea Pact to proclaim the Pan-Artemian Coalition and with it the introduction of the Pan-Artemian Parliament and the merger of all previous treaties between Oradea members into a single coalition. The Pan-Artemian Coalition brought on new legislation such as Article 12, also known as the Pan-Artemian Allied Defense Decree, which would create a defense union amongst member nations of the PAC, as well as the introduction of a joint Pan-Artemian court which would enforce the legislation amongst PAC member nations and later ensure public and corporate liability across the borders of PAC member nations. Shortly after, the alliance would expand once more to include Velsonnexo.

Pan-Artemian Coalition External Associate Program
The Pan-Artemian Coalition offers an External Associates Program for nations outside of the Artemian continent, enabling multilateral trade agreements between the PAC member nations and external associates. The typical associate deal will replace an existing cooperation agreement and thus intensifies relations between the signatories of the agreements, and has to meet several criteria, such as the associates must maintain the intention to establish close economic and political cooperation, associates much participate in new joint bodies for the management of the cooperation and both associates and the PAC are to offer.

The PAC will typically offer association in exchange for commitments which can be political, economic or otherwise. Associates may be offered access to PAC internal markets and can be completely exempt from trade tariffs or have the tariffs reduced on a case by case basis, and can be offered technical or financial assistance such as PAC backed loans or support for other national industries and sectors. However association deals are typically used as a framework for greater cooperation between the PAC member nations and nations outside the Artemian continent and can be expanded and changed as needed, as such association can be revoked by the PAC.
