The Arucian Cooperation Organization is an intergovernmental regional organization, comprised of TBD member states situated in the Western Arucian Sea and Eastern Arucian Sea. Established in 1988, the Arucian Cooperation Organization promotes economic cooperation and integration between its member states, as well as to coordinate foreign policy among its members.
It has a common market, and a common customs area.

History
The Arucian Cooperation Organization has its roots in the aftermath of the Great War, when Estmere established the Oriental Commonwealth, which comprised of the Estmerish Colony of Imagua, the Estmerish-occupied Sanslumiere, and the Mandate of the Sabanas and Santi Aquila e Priscilla in late 1935. While this effort was extremely short lived, particularly after Estmere collapsed into chaos, leading to Sanslumiere declaring its independence, this was seen as a proof of concept that cooperation can be done between states in the Arucian.
In 1938, the Imaguan-Sanslumieran Friendship Treaty was signed, which established cooperation between the two countries on a matter of issues, mostly economic.
