The Treaty of Auxham was a treaty signed between the Community of Didden member states on 22nd April 1997 and it completely changed the structure of the Community of Didden, converting it into the Dorehiman Union. It also allowed three new member states, Salkeve, Charmarges and Julmat to join.

History

Due to the Community's Dorehiman nature in the way things were done, each of the leaders of the Tiny Countries proposed in 1995 that the whole Community be changed into a union of Dorehiman nations. A treaty was drafted in 1997 (which also allowed three aspiring members to join the new union) and it was signed on 22nd April 1997. It came into force on 13th September 1997.
