The ANS was first proposed by the Besmenian delegation to the [[Allengin Pan-Nortuan Conference (1985)|Pan-Nortuan Conference]] held in 1985 in the [[Elbresia|Elbresian]] city of [[Allengin]] as a means to promote interregional co-operation on topics such as trade, national security and immigration in the wake of the period of solid economic growth during the late 20th century. The Alliance was formally established on June 1st 1989 with the states of [[Besmenia]], [[Elbresia]], [[Versenia]], [[Candatora]] and the [[Arenoran Isles|Commonwealth of Arenor]] ratifying the [[Charter of the Alliance of Nortuan States|A.N.S.

Since its inception, the ANS has greatly expanded both as a diplomatic instrument as well as one of interregional peacekeeping with several milestone acts of legislation coming into force such as a common extradition treaty, tax incentives for member businesses to expand their operations and interregional war games. The ANS' long term goals are for the establishment of a [[Nortuan Monetary Union|mutual currency]], a free trade zone and relaxed border controls between member states.
