The 2002 Treaty of XXX which founded MASA included open borders between its four members. After joining the Trans-Tenific Partnership in 2004, the MASA countries negotiated an open border area with Gagium and Saint Sienia, culminating in the Chatrois Agreeement in late-2004, which came into effect on 1 June 2005.
337 million people live within the ESFTA, which has a combined GDP of ₭11.5 trillion, and covers an area of 3.4 million square kilometers.
