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 and Albaterra became observers shortly after to gain a larger economic influence within Eastern Artemia and support closely ideological nations.

Organizational structure
Observers of PaZ are given the economic benefits, but are barred from making any important PaZ decisions or becoming involved in the Defense Council.

Defense Council
Every year, the member nations of the PaZ participate in annual Military Exercises and War Games to test each other's strengths and provide valuable training to their troops.

Objectives

 * Prevent and contain the spread of communism
 * Halt YZAGA and League of Free Nations influence within the region
 * Defend each nation within the alliance from outside and interior threats
 * Preserve traditionalism
 * Advocate for nationalism and against foreign interference
 * Support right leaning groups within enemy nations

Armament trade and development
Rovsnoska is one of Lestykhol's primary suppliers of weaponry and vehicles, lending many surplus APCs and Zastava Arms weaponry. It is strongly encouraged to share arms development among other other PaZ nations.
