The Council for Mutual Security and Development, commonly referred to simply as COMSED, is a regional economic and military intergovernmental organization located primarily in the continent of Coius. As of 2020, COMSED has 6 permanent members, 3 economic associates, and 1 observer. It is headquartered in Keisi, Senria.
The precursor to COMSED were the various cooperation agreements signed between Senria, Sivathra, and Baekjeong in economic and security fields. Deepening cooperation between the three led to the Treaty of Sakata signed in 1981 creating COMSED, and initially functioned primarily as a collective security arrangement. In subsequent decades, however, the organization's scope has expanded vastly, with full members having access to a free-trade area and intelligence and technology sharing, travel agreements and both full members and economic associates having access to a multilateral development bank, economic and financial support, university cooperation programs, and cultural exchange programs. The organization's stated purpose is "to promote in a multilateral and equitable fashion international diplomacy, commerce and development, liberalization, intercultural exchange, and security in Coius and Kylaris as a whole".
COMSED cooperates heavily with the Euclean Community and with international financial organizations such as GIFA. It has has traditionally been regarded as a rival to the IFDS and ROSPO, with which it competes for economic and military influence in Coius. COMSED maintains a global network of partners and associates, and is considered to be one of the most prominent organizations in Coius. COMSED is also one of the largest advocates of trade liberalization and democracy in Kylaris, underpinning much of the modern democratic order.
