The Rubric Coast Partnership is a treaty organization composed of the Messidor Union and the Workers' Federation of Tyreseia formed in December 1890. Taking its name from the Rubric Coast, a shallow bay that borders the Periclean Sea from the western end of Aɣmatia to the eastern border of Tyreseia, the Rubric Coast Partnership is a series of agreements ratified under the Rubric Coast Treaty.
The agreements under the Rubric Coast Treaty govern a variety of areas. These include free trade, freedom of movement, energy grid integration, defense arrangements, and alliances between labour unions. Proposed agreements include a common currency, the merging of labour unions, and the formation of a Rubric Coast legislature. These proposals, among others, were not adopted.
In the present day, the Rubric Coast Partnership primarily facilitates industrial development and the exchange of resources and experts between the two nations. Labour union alliances mean that industry standards for education and safety are similar between the two countries, and also facilitate temporary migration for work or full-term immigration. The Rubric Coast Partnership also includes military defense plans, as well as coordination in logistics and technological development.

Border and movement treaties
The border between Aɣmatia and Tyreseia had long been defined by the Qeshet River that divides the two nations in the north. South of the Adrasic Mountains and the river's source, the border in the Ninva Desert remained porous and uncertain. Even in the 19th century, Kel Tenere populations in both nations paid little regard to where previous border claims lay and many existing border claims were contradictory. Most maps of the era simply marked approximate, dotted lines south of the mountains to mark the general area of the borders, but these lines were neither respected nor enforced.
As the Tyreseian syndicalist state stabilized in the 1880s, both its new government and that of the Messidor Union made it a prerogative to officially define their borders. One of the first agreements ratified under the Rubric Coast Treaty was the Qeshet Meridian Agreement of 1890. This agreement marked the Qeshet River as the official border in the north, plotted a defined border through the Adrasic Mountains and then followed the titular meridian south through the desert, carving out an additional region at the southern edge used by a Kel Tenere group of Tyreseian origin.
Despite their prerogative to define the borders of their respective nations, the members of the Rubric Coast Partnership also sought to increase mobility for workers, tourists, and commercial transportation. In 1901, the Trans-Qeshet Mobility Agreement introduced visa-free travel between citizens of the two states. Border stations were maintained for tariff control, immigration services, and other exigent circumstances.
Economic treaties
The Free Exchange Agreement of 1920 established free trade between Tyreseia and the Messidor Union. While individual unions may retain the right to preferred exchange with domestic suppliers, government-imposed tariffs and general duties at border crossings were abolished upon the agreement's ratification under the Rubric Coast Treaty. The inclusion of a free trade agreement was initially contentious. Many unions were afraid that the value of their labour could be undercut by foreign competition. Ultimately, the understanding that unions in both nations would endeavour to maintain relative parity in terms of labour value while enabling greater efficiency and access to resources led to its acceptance and ratification.
The Rubric Coast Partnership has also included a bundle of agreements that have served to integrate the energy grids of Tyreseia and the Messidor Union. Tyreseian nuclear plants contribute energy to Messidorian cities, particularly in North and South Zwawa at a preferred rate. In turn, the Messidor Union provides a large quantity of petroleum products to Tyreseia for emergency stockpiling and consumer use.
