ECOSEAS

ECOMsAD or the Economic Maintenence Division of South Avalonia (Vallisian: économique communauté maintien de Sud Avalonié division) is an economic, cultural and military union located in Southern Avalonia. It is mainly focused along the Paracas coast region, but membership is open to any nation in southern Avalonia.

It is primarily supported by military and financial personnel and resources from SiWallqanqa, the founding member, as several other member-states fall under SiWallqanqa's suzerainity.

The union was founded in 1968, and formalised in the Treaty of Tchetchuàn City, although several the member-states had been in an informal alliance since the late 1920's.

Structure
ECOMsAD is directed by an elected commitee of legal, financial, political and military officers from the various member states. They are organised into the ECOMsAD Parliamentary Sub-Structure.

Parliamentary Sub-Structure
Composed of 340 seats, from which are assigned selected officials from each nation and also the major corporate partners of ECOMsAD. At this time; 164 seats are controlled by SiWallqanqa, 58 by the Arum Republic, 71 by Yucatec, 29 by Pukara, and 18 to representatives of the private industries.

The Directorate
The Directorate is a now disbanded governing body within the ECOMsAD command structure, that oversaw the nations under the hegemony of SiWallqanqa throughout most of the 20th century. It was composed primarily of members of the Parliamentary Sub-Structure, who had been selected by the SiWallqanqan government to represent their nation within ECOMsAD. Members of the Directorate also oversaw the appointment, verification and oversight of elected and non-elected officials within the nations under SiWallqanqa's hegemony (Republika Akhalia, Pukara and the Arum Republic).

It was officially disbanded in 2002, in response to public outcry, but continued to exist in a less visible state, acting through laws and ordnances enshrined in ECOMsAD and national constitutions, and through control of key institutions. During the SiWallqanqan Civil War, the last remnants of the Directorate were swept aside, as SiWallqanqa's influence decreased within ECOMsAD. At this point, SiWallqanqa still possesses soft power projection over its former subjects, and also retains the largest contributions and elected positions within the Parliamentary Sub-Structure.

Economy
ECOMsAD is a primarily manufacturing based economy, producing vast quantities of resources and manufactured product each year, capitalising on the resource rich nature of the Paracas Coast, and the technological and scientific advancements of many of its member-states: Jinhang and Yucatec.

Shared Currency
Within ECOMsAD several nations share a common currency using the Paraci (₱), adopted in 1947. Prior to that, the SiWallqanqan Crown (SCr) had been used throughout the same nations, coming from the imposition of Tiperyn financial institutions upon SiWallqanqa during the Colonial Era.

The Paraci is overseen in the Central Southern Financial Commision which is headquarted in Belhavo, Republika Akhalia. Countries that use the Paraci are: SiWallqanqa, Republika Akhalia, Arum Republic and Pukara.

Military Equipment
Much of the combined combat forces of ECOMsAD use standardised weaponry, that being the primary battle rifle, the. In addition, a movement to standardise the field combat vehicles of ECOMsAD has led to the common adoption of the, and. In addition to the recent adoption of over 300 new APCs by SiWi and allies.

2018 Weapons Contract
In recognition of the military shortcomings during the SiWallqanqan Civil War and also the loosening of SiWallqanqa's hegemony over the decision making processes within ECOMsAD, a large scale weapons competition was launched, to decide upon a new standard battle rifle/assault rifle to replaced the 60 year old.

It is believed at this stage, that the will win the contract for the standard land forces combat rifle, however unconfirmed information has reported that the  will be adopted by SiWallqanqan Special Forces groups such as the Paratrooper Commandos and Coastal Defenders, to replace the 70 year old E-11 CAW designs in use now.

Corporate Involvement
The Isle of Avalon Company and several other large companies with considerable value placed in the ECOMsAD controlled region have long been considered to hold considerable sway in ECOMsAD and SiWallqanqan politics, and as of 2002, the company's were awarded their own private industry liasons and their own voice in the Parliamentary Sub-Structure of ECOMsAD.
