The Entente of Oriental States or EOS is a major multinational alliance consisting of geographically close states in Europa and Thalassa. Founded in June 2006, the main purpose of the organization is the ensured protection of its membership in the case of aggression from a non-member, considering such an act to be an attack upon all. It is also an economic and scientific cooperation umbrella for the overall geographic area.

History

Headquarters of EOS

In 1954 the Europan Commercial Alliance was formed. The ECA was one of the first international organisations on Eurth to be based on the principles of supranationalism. It started the process of integration which led to the Entente of Oriental States.

The Charter of the Entente of Oriental States is the founding treaty of the Entente of Oriental States. Adopted in 2006, it stipulates that the alliance is "open to all nations of Eastern Europa." Initially, in 2006, there were six founding members. There was a continual increase in membership during the first half of the 21st century.

(WIP: history built upon the earlier ECA and CPA. Work this into the story. Let it begin somewhere in the 1960-1970s, after the last major conflict.)

Participating countries

Observer status is a privilege granted to non-members to give them an ability to participate in the organization's activities. Observer status is granted to states bordering the Oriental Ocean that have an interest in the EOS's activities. Observers generally have a limited ability to participate in the EOS, lacking the ability to vote or propose resolutions. Five countries have observer status that entitles them to express their opinion and give advice but denies them voting rights. Mantella was suspended following the start of the Civil War and the use of military force against civilians of Cristina.
