The Pact for Mutual Prosperity, Solidarity, and Common Defence, commonly known as the Kiso Pact and informally as the Republican Paradigm or Leftist Bloc, is an international mutual aid and defence organization between several countries across five continents. The organization's goals are to advance co-operation in cultural, economic, military and energy matters with one another, and to protect human rights worldwide.
The Group traces its origins to the first summit discussing a pact between republican-socialist nations frequently isolated from the global status-quo held in the Tsurushiman city of Kiso on October 28, 2019.
History
Republican Internationale
First Kiso Summit
In October 2019, the government of Tsurushima convened a summit in the small mountain resort town of Kiso in the Takinoya Prefecture northeast of the Tsurushiman city of Kogaya. Delegations from Ankat, the Messidor Union, North Ottonia, Ostrozava, Pulau Keramat, and Wazheganon joined the host government in discussing an international treaty relationship.
Context
The summit was convened primarily in reaction to tense relations between libertarian and authoritarian socialist nations in the Makrian region. The Enyaman Civil War, which had broken out a month prior, was also a growing concern. For most of the world's history, different socialist nations inhabited separate spheres. The eastern sphere of Ankat, Pulau Keramat, and Tsurushima had been broadly isolated from the Belisarian sphere of the Messidor Union, North Ottonia, and Ostrozava. Further in the west, Wazheganon and Zacapican (while not invited) had been historically isolated. The understanding was that a summit could lead to a firm global mutual aid and support network for anti-authoritarian republican socialist nations.
Objectives
From the outset of the summit, there were three major objectives and several ancillary concerns. Citing tensions with Belfras and Arthurista in the Makrian as well as irreconcilable differences with the government in Jhengtsang, the Tsurushiman government intended to develop a system of regional mutual military defense pacts and combined military exercises with like-minded republican states. The second main item on the agenda was a mutual aid network for non-military disasters and events, with a rapid response humanitarian task force and development aid. The third main item was the development of closer economic relations and trade incentives between member nations, particularly encouraging products extracted or manufactured through systems of worker self-management or syndicates to support non-capitalist market activity, and to facilitate less reliance on global markets dominated by predominantly monarchist-capitalist regimes and associated trade structures largely favouring those powers. Under the economic pact terms, member states would favour import of goods produced in other Kiso member states with a timeline towards the full elimination of tariffs on goods and services from Kiso signatories, and immediate favoritism towards designated products of Socialist Labour from member states. Special trade status for member nations under the Vespanian Exchange would also be discussed.
Ancillary concerns at the summit included the membership eligibility of other nations, particularly Zacapican.
Outcome
At the conclusion of the summit, all of the major items were agreed upon save for the first. The majority of delegations rejected the Tsurushiman resolution in favour of developing military defense pact and military coordination, but a comprehensive economic rapprochement and a mutual aid network was founded under the name of the Kiso Pact of Mutual Prosperity and Solidarity at the conclusion of the summit.
Second Kiso Summit
The two years after the first Kiso Summit saw an increase in global tensions following the Hezekian Reaction and Onekawan Affair in the latter months of 2020 and the X-704 Incident in March 2021. Citing security concerns and the development of multiple threats to members states across the world, a second summit at Kiso was convened to take place in July 2021.
