The Assembly of Nations (AN or sometimes AoN or AON) is an intergovernmental organization established to provide and maintain international peace and security, developing close relations among member states, achieving widespread international co-operation, and being a forum for the diplomatic interaction between nations. It was founded after the Continental War during the Treaty of Sigairen, with its aim of preventing any future wars on the scale of the Continental War, and evolved as a organization dealing with maintaining international peace and security, protecting human rights, providing humanitarian aid, promoting sustainable development, and upholding international law. Its headquarters, with all AN territories as subjects to a status of extraterritoriality, are in Köpenick, Königsreh, and it has other main offices in X.

The AN is the largest, most familiar, most internationally represented and most powerful intergovernmental organization in the world. At its founding, the AN had X member states. As of 2019, there are now 20.
