The Super Ten Council of Nations (Crucian: Eximius Decem Concilium de Gentes), more frequently known as the E10 Council of Nations or by the colloquial E-X designation, is an economic cooperative and multinational organization devoted to the purview of economic affairs in Astyria. Established on April 19th, 2013 C.E. as a continuation of the Saint Catherines Protocol for Regional Cooperation and Development, the E10 Council of Nations is an informal coterie of states comprised of those major economic states within the Astyrian territorial expanse, helping one another to expand financially into foreign markets, create free trade agreements and economic partnerships within the confines of the Council forum, and to establish protocols for protecting regional shipping and maritime traffic from extant threats, such as human trafficking, piracy or terrorism. It is based out of Valle Crucis.
History
The E10 was created from the Saint Catherines Protocol in 2011 as a result of talks which began in 2005. Negotiators included Simiac Rimatlasa, whose work resulted in the creation of the D5.
Charter
Main Article: Charter of the E10 Council of Nations.
The Charter of the E10 is the binding agreement all member-states must adhere to and follow when deciding policy and discussing topics during the annual summit. The charter is a non-intrusive document which allows independent member states to promote domestic policy without fear of interference with the other Council nations, although the promotion of business through coercive means, piracy, and non-consensual means.
The Charter leaves room for autonomy, but still holds a large enough grasp on how the Council nations handle their economic policy that promotes free trade and business across Astyria. The Limits on Authority section of the charter makes sure that the member states are on par with World Assembly regulations on human rights. Though, the Council also retains the authority to take Vergobretus action against states who do pass legislation which infringe on the aforementioned statutes.
Structure and Activities
Annual Summit
The annual E10 summit is attended by the appointed representatives of the Council nations as well as any other nation of Astyria which chooses to be represented. Although the latter do not get a vote, it is still seen as an important part of regional affairs to attend the annual summit.
The summit will traditionally alternate between Council Nations, as well as any other represented nation of Astyria which offers to host the summit.

Subcommittees
The E10 Council of Nations contains two subordinate organizations, the T5 Council of Trade Relations, and the D5 Developing States' Council. These subcommittees were designed to give non-council member states a way to actively participate in the legislative process of the E10, so as not to be seen as an exclusive "club" of sorts; the T5 and D5 are currently comprise of 2 and 1 members respectively. The T5 Council of Trade Relations is currently headquartered out of Ceria, Aquitayne. The headquarters for the D5 Developing States' Council has yet to be declared.
