Sekidean Union is a miltiary and economic organization in Anteria that separetes itself into Inner and Outer Unions. It cooperates closely with Dokodo Union via the Kasian council. It was formed by a unionisation of Shanghou Pact and Purple Community into one union (although the two unions technically exist to this day and are politically frozen).

Division

Outer Union is following only the Founding Charter and mutliple minor amendements to it, while Inner Sekidean Union uses one joint currency and shares Union institutions (Sekidean Parliament (stationed in Gimyeong, Prei Meas), Sekidean Council (stationed in Tropponz, Grad Autonomy, Zhousheng, Mustelaria), Sekidean Central Bank (stationed in Kentasi, Kentalis) & Sekidean High Court (stationed in Colobia, Gadorien))
Here is a scheme of the Inner and Outer Union countries

All-Union rules

Agreement of the merger of Shanghou Pact and Purple Community into Sekidean Union
Presented	23rd June 1992
Ratified	14th November 1992
Date effective	1st January 1993
Location	Gimyeong, Prei Meas
Author(s)	Ulman Чuчlik, former Zhoushi president
Signatories	Canton River Delta Gadorien Great Golden Raj Monte Blanco Prei Meas Zhousheng
Media type	International Document
Purpose	Better stability in the region

Following text includes obligatory rules to all SU countries as they were signed:

Agreement of the merger of Shanghou Pact and Purple Community into Sekidean Union
1. Obligation to defend other member if he is attacked
2. Free trade agreement
3. No customs or border tariffs
4. Obligation to remain neutral or pro-government if a civil war or a coup d'etat begins in a member country
5. Right to vote in the pact manners
6. Obligation to treat other pact member's citizens or respective minorities that are a majority or a plurality in other member country or have their home territory in other member country kindly, meaning no directed harassment or violence and offer them right to ask for a court in their home country or the country having a majority of their ethnicity in if the country is in the alliance
7. Members shall recognize our joint history and culture and work together to protect our joint heritage
8. We shall vote together on issues concerning culture and mineral extraction and trade
9. Every member country gets a right to make polls for others to vote, majority/plurality/unanimous vote requirements to be set in a further agreements (to be determined on a further summit requiring an unanimous vote to enact)
10. Every Member is allowed to move through the Canton Canal and the Colonia-Pinžak with Military Ships, for this Canton is allowed to charge toll on the Canton Canal and the Committee formed by Gadorien, Zhousheng and Monte Blanco on the Colonia-Pinžak Canal
11. Members agree to protect only the mainland or the heart territory of each state, colonies remaining unprotected by the pact as their position doesn't apply to the original Pact conditions
12. If a new member asks to join, an unanimous vote is required. To apply, a country must be bordering an existing pact member or have a reasonable naval connection that can not be easily disrupted by a foreign non-pact military power in the region

In 2002, text was amended with a second section considering rather functionality than purpose of the union:

Functionality amendment
1. Countries get right to join a free movement union
2. Neither SHANGHOU PACT or PURPLE COMMUNITY have dissolved, but contain only the former member of the founding alliances, newcomers are members of neither
3. Both members and founders are member of the supranational entity – the SEKIDEAN UNION
4. All joining countries agree to give up their right to vote after 3 days of the vote, meaning that if new vote is declared on the 1st of October at 5:37 PM GMT, all countries which have not cast their vote before 4th of October at 5:37 PM GMT officially agree to abstain from voting, meaning that votes are concluded as if the non-participating country had voted neutrally
5. Countries agree to develop military assets using a standardized calibre for each type of weapon with the exception for armament for special forces
6. For opening of the SU-lead negotiations, more than 50% of the SU members must agree for it
7. Joining the SU must be proceeded with a unanimous (no negatives) vote and a negotiation that can be opened with official application for membership
8. To change the founding charter unanimous (no negatives) vote must be required with at least 75% of people voting in favour of the edit
9. SU mission must have at least 50% of the SU members voting in favour before it is approved
10. Country can be kicked from the Sekidean Union if at least 65% of votes on the kicking vote are for the proposal (and negative votes work like negative positives and are subtracted from the percentage)
11. On other votes, ≥50% of votes must be AYE for the vote to pass, but NAY serves as a negative aye, meaning that if there are 4 ayes and 2 nays, it is just like if there were just 2 ayes

New members and their approval

New member can either by invited or ask to join the union.

Kentalian entry

Entry of Kentalis was highly controversial, as country was separeted by a body of water from otherwise compact Union. The vote was one of the most controversial and the eventual entry proved to be a good decision in the long run for the Union and Kentalis alike.

Bak entry

Bakyern was approved only with a entry agreement in their fourth entry attempt, first and second being vetoed by Gadorien and third being vetoed by Prei Meas. Only the Vescarium crisis pushed all SU countries to ensure their sovereignity by letting Bakyern join the Union.

Krenyan entry

Krenya was approved on their third attempt, first being vetoed by Zhousheng and second being vetoed by Gadorien. The country's entry was originally controversial because of the long-lasting dictatorial regime. However, after required reforms were done, Krenya was let to join the Union.

Refused entries

Velharian War
Zhoushi fighters above Southern Velharia
Date 23rd June 2012 - 25th June 2012 Location Velharia, Gadorien Result Overthrow of Absolute monarchy in Velharia Annexation of Velharia into Gadorien Establishment of Velharian Autonomy in Gadorien
Belligerents
Gadorien Zhousheng Velharian rebels	Velharian Monarchy
Strength
65,000 Troops 30,000 Rebels	~20,000 Troops
Casualties and losses
~150 KIA; ~500 wounded	~250 KIA

Only country that was refused to join was Velharia, which was under absolute monarchy and after their hyperinflation and economic collapse of early 2000's was tied to a monetary support from Zhousheng and Gadorien. The entry vote was held in 2011 and was vetoed by Zhousheng and Gadorien, which expected eventual integration of Velharia into the Sekidean Union after their economy recovers.
Tensions between the country and Sekidean Union started rising after Velharia briefly leased Ateenia a naval base and allowed deployment of nuclear weapons on their territory, although Sekidean politicians managed to salvage the crisis by paying Ateenia to cancel the lease.
Although no official declaration of war was recieved, Velharia siezed Zhoushi and Gadori assets and construction sites in Velharia and invaded a strip of land that was sold to Gadorien few months ago. In response, 1st clause was enacted for the first time and Gadorieni and Zhoushi troops entered Velharia. Velharian populace rose in revolt against the monarch and Velharia was overrun by Sekidean troops in 72 hours.
After the war, Velharia was placed under Sekidean military administration and was integrated into Gadori civil administration in 2013. In 2018, local autonomy was declared, called the Duchy of Velharia.

Current admission talks

In present day, there are 3 recognized candidates:
• Khemmi - Entry talks are on halt with an agreement to accept Khemmi as a member once enough political reforms are made.
• NON-CANON Ereska - Entry talks are frozen, because country descended into civil war.
• NON-CANON Rotetumeai - Entry was approved and official adoption of membership is expceted from Rotetumean government.

Foreign missions

Current missions

Currently, Sekidean Union is participating in 2 foreign missions:
• Azureden - SU controlled a 100km wide strip of land on Preimeai border as a buffer zone for 3 years. Currently Preimeai, Mustelarian and Gadori forces operate directly against the Coalition and support the Azurites.

Sekidean Union participated in more operations in the past:
• Khemmi - MUZHRA (Zhoushi army) and Kentalian armed forces maintained regional stability in the border areas of Khemmi next to Kentalis during Khemmi civil war.
• NON-CANON Ereska - Country was entered by Sekidean Peacekeepers, which attempt to de-escalate their brutal civil war. Currently, Preimeai, Mustelarian, Gadori forces, Kentalian and Polder Eilander troops cooperate with SADA contingent lead by Foxomexra and New Sebronia along with a large IGP involvement.
• NON-CANON Polder Eiland - During the brief 2020 Polder Eiland civil war, Gadorien, Mustelaria, Prei Meas and Kentalis deployed their armies to protect local populace.
