The Rubric Coast Consortium is a treaty organization composed of the United Communes of Talahara and the Workers' Federation of Tyreseia formed in December 1890. Taking its name from the Rubric Coast, a shallow bay that borders the Periclean Sea from the western end of Talahara to the eastern border of Tyreseia, the Rubric Coast Consortium is a series of agreements ratified under the Rubric Coast Treaty. These govern a variety of areas including free trade, freedom of movement, energy grid integration, defense arrangements, alliances between labour unions, and a currency union. The political isolation of the two states and the hostility of neighbouring and regional monarchist powers led to rapprochement in the 1880s. Despite this, both states had to reckon with each other's cultural, social, and political differences. The Rubric Coast Treaty was first drafted bilaterally with the intent of defining relations between the two states. The Treaty was ultimately signed and ratified in 1890. In its final form it was made into a living document that could change with the evolving relations of its two member states. Defining the borders of the nations, trade and tariff laws, and the rights of each state's citizens with regard to the other were among the earliest concerns. To achieve the purpose of the Treaty as a live document, the Rubric Coast Consortium was created to manage and deliberate on the relations of the member states. The Consortium is a treaty organization composed of government officials from each state, though power is delegated to agents and diplomats in practice. In the present day, the Rubric Coast Consortium primarily facilitates industrial development and the exchange of resources and experts between the two nations. Labour union alliances mean that industry standards for education and safety are similar between the two countries, and also facilitate temporary migration for work or full-term immigration. The Rubric Coast Consortium also includes military defense plans, as well as coordination in logistics and technological development. (See more...)
