The Alliance of Nortuan States (Abbreviated ANS) is an intergovernmental organization located in Nortua on Iearth. It was founded on June 1, 1989 in Freiz, Besmenia and is headquartered in Laitstadt, Besmenia. The Congress of the ANS has its seat in Allengin, Elbresia.
The ANS was first proposed by the Besmenian delegation to the Pan-Nortuan Conference held in 1985 in the Elbresian city of Allengin as a means to promote interregional co-operation on topics such as trade, national security and immigration in the wake of the period of solid economic growth during the late 20th century. The Alliance was formally established on June 1st 1989 with the states of Besmenia, Elbresia, Versenia, Candatora and the Commonwealth of Arenor ratifying the A.N.S. Charter in the Besmenian city of Freiz.
Since its inception, the ANS has greatly expanded both as a diplomatic instrument as well as one of interregional peacekeeping with several milestone acts of legislation coming into force such as a common extradition treaty, tax incentives for member businesses to expand their operations and interregional war games. The ANS' long term goals are for the establishment of a mutual currency, a free trade zone and relaxed border controls between member states.
