The Commonwealth of Nations, generally known | The Commonwealth of Nations, generally known as the Commonwealth, is a political association of 14 former territories or mandate territories of the Emmerian Empire. | ||
The Commonwealth was created by the Emmerian Empire in the 1920s as it granted an increasing degree of self-rule to its territories. It was originally created as the Emmerian Commonwealth of Nations through the Wilson Declaration at the 1926 Imperial Conference, and formalized by the [[Emmeria|United Kingdom of Emmeria]] through the 1931 Northwood Statute. The current Commonwealth is based on the 1949 New Avalon Declaration, which elevated the colonies and dominions to equal status to Emmeria itself. | |||
The current Head of the Commonwealth is Queen Catherine I of Emmeria. The Queen is the head of state of 10 member states (the Commonwealth realms), while 4 other members (all mandate territories colonized by other powers before the First Global War) are republics. | |||
Member states are connected through their use of the Emmerian language and historical ties, as well as the Commonwealth Charter and Commonwealth Athletic Games. | |||
The Commonwealth Defense Pact (formed 1949) and Commonwealth Economic Area (formed 1973) have enhanced military and economic ties between the 14 member states, along with 4 associated nations (Nordennavic, Estovakia, Levant and Rasheedi Tamudia) which are not full members of the Commonwealth itself. | |||

The Commonwealth Defense Pact's roots can be traced back to the participation of the Emmerian Empire in the two Global Wars, and the subsequent rise of Yuktobania as a threat to imperial interests. The Security Cooperation Protocol of the 1949 New Avalon Declaration created a formal mutual defense agreement between Commonwealth nations, with Commonwealth nations tasked with both defending their own areas of responsibilities and coming to the aid of other members threatened by external military aggression. As such, a number of regional commands were established around the globe, with multinational Commonwealth forces under their jurisdiction. | |||
Commonwealth Forces have participated in numerous conflicts around the world, including the 1980 Aurelian War, the 1988~91 Continental War, and the 2004 Lighthouse War. These conflicts have proven the Commonwealth's global military reach, and the principle of collective defense of Commonwealth nations. | |||
====Commonwealth Nuclear Sharing==== | |||
The first Emmerian atomic weapon was tested on 3 October 1948, a few months before the New Avalon Declaration. On 29 August 1949, Yuktobania tested an atomic weapon of its own. This lead to calls by Commonwealth nations for a 'nuclear umbrella' and nuclear sharing agreements to deter Yuktobania from an invasion of Verusan nations. These requests were granted by the Commonwealth Atomic Energy and Security Agreement of 1951, with Emmerian nuclear weapons eventually being deployed to Aurelia, North Point, South Sotoa, West Clavis, Estovakia, Europa, West Clavis and the Levant. | |||
Given the difficulty of establishing a nuclear umbrella for Aurelia with existing Emmerian nuclear forces, and the significant economic and military power of Aurelia, it was given special permission under the Emmeria-Aurelia Mutual Defense Agreement of 1968 to have theater-level domestic nuclear capabilities. The Aurelian Prime Minister can authorize the use of nuclear weapons in a regional nuclear conflict within southern Osea (most likely against Leasath). Aurelia also possesses some nuclear maintenance and refurbishment facilities, making it a de facto nuclear power. | |||
Today, 190 Emmerian air-deployed tactical nuclear bombs are deployed in Estovakia (50), North Point (30), South Sotoa (20), Europa (40) and the Levant (50). Emmeria also possesses another 1,364 active and 1,810 reserve warheads located at domestic bases and on ships and submarines of the Royal Emmerian Navy. Aurelia maintains 215 of its own nuclear weapons, with a mix of gravity bombs, air-launched cruise missiles and submarine-launched cruise missiles. | |||

The Commonwealth of Nations, generally known as the Commonwealth, is a political association of 14 former territories or mandate territories of the Emmerian Empire.
The Commonwealth was created by the Emmerian Empire in the 1920s as it granted an increasing degree of self-rule to its territories. It was originally created as the Emmerian Commonwealth of Nations through the Wilson Declaration at the 1926 Imperial Conference, and formalized by the United Kingdom of Emmeria through the 1931 Northwood Statute. The current Commonwealth is based on the 1949 New Avalon Declaration, which elevated the colonies and dominions to equal status to Emmeria itself.
The current Head of the Commonwealth is Queen Catherine I of Emmeria. The Queen is the head of state of 10 member states (the Commonwealth realms), while 4 other members (all mandate territories colonized by other powers before the First Global War) are republics.
Member states are connected through their use of the Emmerian language and historical ties, as well as the Commonwealth Charter and Commonwealth Athletic Games.
The Commonwealth Defense Pact (formed 1949) and Commonwealth Economic Area (formed 1973) have enhanced military and economic ties between the 14 member states, along with 4 associated nations (Nordennavic, Estovakia, Levant and Rasheedi Tamudia) which are not full members of the Commonwealth itself.

Main Article: Commonwealth Defense Pact
The Commonwealth Defense Pact's roots can be traced back to the participation of the Emmerian Empire in the two Global Wars, and the subsequent rise of Yuktobania as a threat to imperial interests. The Security Cooperation Protocol of the 1949 New Avalon Declaration created a formal mutual defense agreement between Commonwealth nations, with Commonwealth nations tasked with both defending their own areas of responsibilities and coming to the aid of other members threatened by external military aggression. As such, a number of regional commands were established around the globe, with multinational Commonwealth forces under their jurisdiction.
Commonwealth Forces have participated in numerous conflicts around the world, including the 1980 Aurelian War, the 1988~91 Continental War, and the 2004 Lighthouse War. These conflicts have proven the Commonwealth's global military reach, and the principle of collective defense of Commonwealth nations.
Commonwealth Nuclear Sharing
The first Emmerian atomic weapon was tested on 3 October 1948, a few months before the New Avalon Declaration. On 29 August 1949, Yuktobania tested an atomic weapon of its own. This lead to calls by Commonwealth nations for a 'nuclear umbrella' and nuclear sharing agreements to deter Yuktobania from an invasion of Verusan nations. These requests were granted by the Commonwealth Atomic Energy and Security Agreement of 1951, with Emmerian nuclear weapons eventually being deployed to Aurelia, North Point, South Sotoa, West Clavis, Estovakia, Europa, West Clavis and the Levant.
Given the difficulty of establishing a nuclear umbrella for Aurelia with existing Emmerian nuclear forces, and the significant economic and military power of Aurelia, it was given special permission under the Emmeria-Aurelia Mutual Defense Agreement of 1968 to have theater-level domestic nuclear capabilities. The Aurelian Prime Minister can authorize the use of nuclear weapons in a regional nuclear conflict within southern Osea (most likely against Leasath). Aurelia also possesses some nuclear maintenance and refurbishment facilities, making it a de facto nuclear power.
Today, 190 Emmerian air-deployed tactical nuclear bombs are deployed in Estovakia (50), North Point (30), South Sotoa (20), Europa (40) and the Levant (50). Emmeria also possesses another 1,364 active and 1,810 reserve warheads located at domestic bases and on ships and submarines of the Royal Emmerian Navy. Aurelia maintains 215 of its own nuclear weapons, with a mix of gravity bombs, air-launched cruise missiles and submarine-launched cruise missiles.
