The Group of Island Nations (GIN) is a multinational organisation on Eurth. Its members discuss common socio-economical topics challenges as economic development, trade and shipping, ecology, fishing, etc. As island nations, the organisation's members share similar opportunities, concerns and solutions which are markedly different from other, land-based Eurthican countries.[1]
Formation

The first (informal) meeting took place in 1974 in Fjallshima. It was the first international conference without continental powers. $Name from $Country and $Name from $Country were there. They, along with a host of other heads of state, put a great megaphone on the islands' situation. They also vowed to no longer get involved in 'Great War' logic. The Nakazima Declaration was an incredibly optimistic moment of fraternity, solidarity and pacifism. This resulted in the Group of Island Nations' formation and the appointment of its first secretary-general.[2]
