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 Artemian Economic and Territorial Integrity Community in 2002 as a result of growing Artemian conservatism and due to shifting politics across the Artemian continent. The organisation 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.

The Most recent members state to be added to PAC is Seratof on the 7th of March 2006. An additional 8 countries participate in the PAC observer program and enjoy positive relations with the PAC member states, currently 4 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.

Observer States
Albaterra is as of 2020, the only observer state in the PAC that is located on the continent of Avalonia. Albaterra first started the process of becoming an observer in 1988 and officially became an observer in 1992. During the late 1980's the country was suffering immensely from a crippled economy and a war-torn south that saw a large unemployment rate, increased unrest and an increase of illegal activities due to law enforcement's inability to deal with the rise in crime. Due to this extremely unstable situation the future was grim which led the government to seek international investment. This was the start of talks about becoming an observer in the PAC. This observer status was a very important step for Albaterra on the international scale and would pave the way for it's massive amount of export to eastern countries across the ocean. Since 1992 Albaterra continues to be the only member of the PAC that exports tropical agricultural produce, tropical lumber and other non-timber products, Cigars, Fruit wine and other tropical spirits. The country also has abundant reserves of Iron, coal, bauxite natural gas and oil which has flourished due to increased investment made by mainly Modrovia. The President of Albaterra, Leonardo H. Sapateiro has repeatedly praised Modrovia for their part in saving the Albaterran economy even went as far as stating during a press conference: "With Modrovian investment and a great leader Albaterra now thrives, but with Modrovian investment and a foolish leader Albaterra would still have been well off."

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.

Common Market
The Artemian Common Market & Exchange, known as ACME or simply the Common Market, is the of the PAC which seeks to guarantee the  of, , and  within the Pan-Artemian Coalition. The Common Market is designed to economic policies across the PAC, with the goal of creating a single Artemian-wide. The market encompasses all PACs member states, and can be extended on a case-by-case basis to through.

The Common Market's goal is to increase, , and by allowing goods, services, and  to move freely across member states. It is, as previously stated, also intended to drive economic. Trade in most goods and services within the PAC is covered by some form of harmonized legislation set out by the Commission of the Common Market.

within the Common Market operates under the principle of : whereby between member states are prohibited. Any quantitative restrictions (i.e. ) or similar measures specifically discriminating against another member's products are prohibited. There are some minor exceptions, for example, , or reasons, or for protection of highly localized, indigenous cultures or artifacts. Most member states must give mutual recognition to each other's regulation standards, while the Common Market harmonizes minimum that products have to adhere to.

within the Common Market requires the abolition of all. Member states cannot impose limits on buying, or , or  from other member states. Member states cannot require pre-approval by their governments for. The imposition of any, , or by one member state must be uniformly imposed on other member state companies and citizens. Certain "excessive ownership" of corporations by member governments is considered unlawful, though this concept is the subject of ongoing negotiation, as outright is still allowed under current rules. Financial capital within the PAC can be transferred in any amount from one member state to another, and is subject only to domestic costs; this includes the use of credit cards, debit cards, and checks issued in member states used to pay for transactions in other member states. The Common Market Commission and the largest financial institutions within the Common Market operate a, KACHING, which clears  between member states.

within the Common Market includes the right of establishing a business and/or providing commercial and. in a member country can not discriminate against other members of the Common Market. The Common Market imposes minimum standards and rules to basic laws applicable to corporate establishment, and also protect investors. The Common Market does allow a large business in a member state, if it so chooses, to incorporate as a Super-PAC, which allows the said company to automatically operate across all member states upon incorporation. In any case, member states must recognize companies chartered in other member states, though states can impose specific establishment requirements on foreign companies that conform to a, for example clamping down on. Citizens of one member state which meet the of another member state may not face overly burdensome licensure requirements to practice their trade, nor be subject to rules which impose an undue burden as compared to domestic practitioners. The Common Market has imposed a rule that compensates professionals for experience already obtained in a member state. For example, if member state A requires 1000 hours of training to receive a given licensure, and a professional from member state B needed 900 hours to receive their licensure, the professional from member state B would only need to complete an additional 100 hours of training to practice in member state A. Currently, questions surrounding the provision of and  are subject to intense negotiation among member states.

Trade
Tthe Artemian Customs Union (ACU) is a which consists of all of the member states of the Pan-Artemian Coalition. There are no or similar  between members of the. Members of the ACU impose a on all imported goods entering the Common Market of the PAC. Tariff rates are agreed upon via multilateral negotiations among members, and as a result these rates are complex and vary depending on the specific type of product imported.

The Commission of the Common Market is responsible for leading negotiations with other countries and. The full tariff rates apply to countries that do not have a with the PAC or countries not on a recognized exemption scheme (such as the External Associates Program,). Members of the External Associates Program are either given status or have special rates applied after  negotiations. PAC observers are granted a with the Common Market.
