The Association of Solarian Nations is an international organisation representing countries and regions where Solarian languages are the lingua gallica and the cultures of members is significantly defined by Solarian influences. The ASN is tasked with promoting "cultural, educational and linguistic" ties and equality between Solarian peoples, and to also promote and celebrate the shared Solarian heritage.
Officially representing six member-states and XX observers, the ASN grew from originally promoting linguistic and tourist programmes, to including a vast network of public and private organisations covering education, music, film, theatre, archeology, academia and political ties. Since its founding in 1973, it has become one of the largest sponsors of the arts and culture, while also launching a subsidy program for schools, healthcare and manages the largest grouping of archeologists and musuems in Euclea.
History
Organisation
Fraternities
The ASN is primarily comprised of branch departments known as Fraternities, which oversee the implementation of the association's charter missions. The fraternity headquarters are located in Solaria, Etruria, but operate regional offices in all memberstates. The fraternities are headed by a President, who is drawn from one of the members on a rotating basis.
Fraternity of Solarian Senates
The Fraternity of Solarian Senates is the department dedicated to promoting cooperation, communication and the sharing of expertise between the legislatures of members. The FSS has been known to promote cross-border legislation on matters relating to its charter missions, while also promoting delegations to study the procedures and rules of the member parliaments to "promote democratic standards and procedures."
Fraternity of Minerva
The Fraternity of Minerva is one of the larger departments of the Association, dedicated to creating and maintaining Student exchange programs. In 1990, the fraternity launched the Minerva Programme, which subsidises university tuition for member nations' students to study Solarian languages, national and Ancient Solarian histories. By 1994, the Minerva Programme includes 59 universities across its six member-states and had registered 80,000 students as participants. By 2018, this had grown to 86 universities and 120,000 students. In 2014, the Minerva Programme established a partnership with the Euclean Community's education commission. The Minvera Programme's scheme for subsidising cross-national study of Ancient Solarian history has been widely acclaimed.
In 2004, the Minerva Programme was followed by Minerva+ which sought to create partnerships and consortiums in the realms research and development, engineering, computing, information technology and mathematics. In 2006, the Aesculapius Programme was established to centralise ASN sponsored medical research schemes. In 2012, the Boreas Programme was estbalished to sponsor research into sustainable development and climatology.
The fraternity is named after Minerva ( also known as Minvra, in Ancient Solaria), the Ancient Solarian goddess of wisedom and strategy. It's sub-programmes, Aesculapius, is named after the Ancient Solarian god of wellbeing, and Boreas, after the God of wind.
The Fraternity of Minerva is headed by President Aurelien Garon of Gaullica.
