The Association of Southern Euclean States (Gaullican: Association des états sud eucléen), abbreviated as ASES (AESE), is a political, cultural, and economic alliance between the five Southern Euclean nations of Galenia, Slirnia, Piraea, Poliania, and Visoclesia. The purpose of the alliance is to further advancing military, economic, cultural, and energy cooperation between member states. As of 2020, the organization has a collective nominal GDP of $2.519 trillion, of which Poliania alone makes up over 80%, and a total population of 104,825,453, 73% of which belongs to Poliania.
ASES was initially formed in 2000 as a result of bilateral talks between Poliania and Visoclesia. The subsequent treaty promised to support increased economic and military cooperation between the two nations. The alliance was expanded to include Galenia in 2002, and saw further amendments to the original treaty to include cultural and energy cooperation. Slirnia later joined in 2005 following the victory of the Sotirian Democrats in the nation's 2004 election. Piraea was the last to join in 2008 following the nation leaving Samorspi. In 2019, Ilijana Valčeva, then acting President of ASES, announced that talks were being undertaken between ASES and Etruria for possible membership. This action drew criticism from the governments of Piraea and Galenia.
The smallest of the "Big 3" Euclean alliances, ASES has been criticized by opponents as being a formalized Polianian sphere of influence due to Poliania's size in relation to the other member states. The Polianian government has responded to these criticisms when they arise, citing the association is an "alliance of equals."
History
The Association was established on 22 August 2000 by Poliania and Visoclesia. It was founded with the intention of providing economic and social integration between both countries, which have a shared history and culture. Visoclesia was a part of Poliania until the Great War, when it became an independent nation. Despite initially maintaining close ties with Narozalica, concerns over Narozalic hegemony in West Euclea and liberalization in Poliania changed Visoclesia's relationships with its neighbors.
It was expanded in 2002 when Galenia joined the organization. Slirnia joined in 2005 and Piraea joined in 2008. Since expansion, the Association deepened ties between member-states and worked to position itself as an alternative to the Euclean Community for developed economies in Euclea. Lemovicia became an observer in 2008, but as of 2020 has indicated its intent to end its observer status and join Samorspi.
