The Saltstil Pact (SP) (SP; Vultesian: Pan Afszaltsil, PA; Spanish: Pacto de Saltstil, PS) is an intergovernmental organisation consisting of four separate institutions in Olivacia, Astariax, and Meredonne governed by common institutions. These institutions are the Oriental Trade Alliance, the Eastern Energy Partnership, the Saltstil Defence Pact, and the Eastern Benevolent Fund. Although each institution is governed by an independent body, they are overseen by the Saltstil Intergovernmental Conference, consisting of the heads of state and government and ministers of member states. The pact consists of nine member states: Freice, Gavrilia, Gran Rugido, Hoterallia, Riamo, Vultesia, Wellsenfaile, Scryeland, and Xzavaria.

The Saltstil Pact is the largest intergovernmental organisation of its kind in the east, and is a significant economic, political, and diplomatic power. The organisation's principal aim upon its founding was protecting the independence of eastern nations against perceived western influence. Today, the organisation has developed beyond this initial aim, expanding to encompass regional integration, cooperation, and mutual understanding.

Projects

Oriental Trade Alliance

The Oriental Trade Alliance is the principal institution of the Saltstil Pact, providing for near-complete tariff-free trade in goods between the seven participating member states. The alliance encompasses a number of common rules and policies that reduce obstacles to trade. These include common standards regime and quality assurance processes that provide for imports without customs checks, whilst traders can self-certify compliance with agreed rules of origin.

Around 94% of tariffs have been removed through the implementation of the alliance's provisions.

Organs

The treaty establishing the alliance established a number of organs to oversee the governance of the organisation and the implementation of the establishing treaty:

• Oriental Trade Commission: composed of the heads of state and/or government of the member states. It is the supreme governing body of the Oriental Trade Alliance which initiates policies relating to inter-alliance trade and oversees their implementation. The Oriental Trade Commissioner is the head of the commission, elected by member states for an agreed term of office, and represents the organisation externally. The Commission meets a minimum of once a year, rotating between the member states.
• Council of Ministers: composed of finance and trade ministers from member states, this is a technical body that agrees on policy to be put to the Commission. The Council of Ministers is the principle mode of dialogue between member states, meeting regularly to discuss, review, and debate trade policies. The Chairman of the Council of Ministers is elected from amongst its members for a two year term.
• Court of Arbitration: consisting of one judge from each member state, the Court of Arbitration judges on disputes between member states relating to trade, and oversees the implementation of trade agreements at a national and multi-national level. Disputes between member states are heard at the court, whose decisions cannot be appealed.

Eastern Energy Partnership

The Eastern Energy Partnership provides for a reduction in tarrifs and the implementation of preferential treatment to the energy entities and organisations of other member states. It implements common policies and rules aimed at preserving the natural environmnt of the Pact, including a mandatory budget of 0.8% or more of a member states' GDP to be put to preserving and protecting the environment. This fund is pooled and distributed by the Partnership, organised through the organisations' administrative bodies at a supranational level.

The Eastern Energy Group is the principal forum for discussions between the energy entities and corporations of the partnership's member states, and to promote the enhancement, investment, and development of energy reserves and energy cooperation in the east. Beyond the Eastern Energy Group, the Policy and Resources Committee is the main political body of the partnership, which consists of ministers and civil servants who oversee the implementation of the partnership's rules and arrangements.

Saltstil Defence Pact

Members of the Pact pledge not to enter into any act of aggression or other form of violence or threatening action towards another member state, with a 'minimal state of Neutrality by all parties' expected in the event that a member enters into conflict with a non-member state. Moreover, member states pool certain defence prerogatives to a Board of Command and a defence committee, which oversees the implementation of defence treaty provisions.

Members also agree to come to the aid of any member in the defence of their territorial and political integrity upon their request, operating a system of collective defence where an attack upon one member states is considered an attack upon all members. To provide for mutual defene, a minimum budget of 1.5% of nominal GDP is required to be dedicated to military spending

Vultesia, the Lead Nation of the pact, stations military personnel in each of the member states.
