The '''Western Euronia Defense Alliance''', commonly referred to as '''WEDA''' or the '''Olympic Defense Alliance''', is an intergovernmental military alliance between 18 Western [[Euronia]]n and Eastern [[Adula]]n countries. The organization implements the [[Alabaster Treaty]] that was signed on March 29th, 2001 in the city of [[Alabaster]]. WEDA constitutes a system of collective defence whereby its independent member states agree to mutual defence in response to an attack by any external party. WEDA's Headquarters are located in [[Tofino]], [[Zian]], [[Zamastan]], with other headquartered offices located in [[Vongane]] ([[Quetana]]), [[Viitaniemi]] ([[Caspiaa]]), and [[Gatovita (Vitosium City)|Gatovita]] ([[Vitosium]]).

Since its founding, the admission of new member states has increased the alliance from the original 5 countries to 18.

The Western Euronia Defense Alliance, commonly referred to as WEDA or the Olympic Defense Alliance, is an intergovernmental military alliance between 18 Western Euronian and Eastern Adulan countries. The organization implements the Alabaster Treaty that was signed on March 29th, 2001 in the city of Alabaster. WEDA constitutes a system of collective defence whereby its independent member states agree to mutual defence in response to an attack by any external party. WEDA's Headquarters are located in Tofino, Zian, Zamastan, with other headquartered offices located in Vongane (Quetana), Viitaniemi (Caspiaa), and Gatovita (Vitosium).

Since its founding, the admission of new member states has increased the alliance from the original 5 countries to 18. Originally, the founding members were Zamastan, Rio Palito, Caspiaa, Ruskayn, and Quetana, all of which as Western Euronian states with the exception of Quetana, which is where the official name of the alliance is derived. However, the addition of Skith and Kuresa in 2005 was deemed strategically sound and the secondary title, Olympic Defense Alliance, was adopted to include the Adulan nations on the other side of the Olympic Ocean. The most recent member states to be added to WEDA were Vitosium on April 18th, 2008, Albarine and Emmiria on September 29th, 2011, and Sulifa and Andaluni on March 20th, 2021. Lutharia, Shoassau, East Chanchajilla, Mulfulira, Janapa, and Saint Croix and Bens became members on January 31st, 2022, while Qolaysia joined on April 26th, 2022. WEDA operates multinational training exercises with its member states, including the Sentinel Exercise which is held annually in a rotating member state.

History

Founding

The WEDA Headquarters Complex in Tofino, Zamastan.

In 1999, economic and political turmoil began to boil over in Beleroskov as states chose to vote in referendums to secede from the communist government. On 17 March, a referendum was held, in which the vast majority of participating citizens voted in favor of changing the country into a renewed federation. In August 2000, a coup d'état attempt by members of the government, directed against the Premier and aimed at preserving the Union of States, instead led to the end of the Communist Party of Beleroskov.

As a result of the quickly unfolding chaos in Beleroskov, the Alabaster Treaty was signed and ratified by Zamastan, Rio Palito, Caspiaa, Ruskayn, and Quetana on March 29th, 2001 in Alabaster, Cayenne, Zamastan, officially establishing the Western Euronia Defense Alliance as a military alliance. WEDA was also created from fears of rising global tensions with the squashing of pro-government movements in Yuan, domestic crisis in Drambenburg, and ongoing insurgencies in Vulkaria.

The first military operation that WEDA conducted as an alliance took place in Vulkaria against rebel fighters in 2001, with Zamastanian, Quetanan, and Rio Palitoan troops assisting federal Vulkarian forces. Ironically, Beleroskov played host to the Neboroskiev Accords that ended the Second War in Vulkaria, to which WEDA representatives established a significant number of stipulations against the Elastani government.

Expansion and global influence

In 2004, WEDA began talks with Kuresa and Skith for membership. Kuresa joined in June 2005, and Skith joined in July. WEDA maintained its official name but also took up the additional referment of the Olympic Defense Alliance. Beginning in 2006, the organization extended its activities into political and humanitarian situations that had not formerly been WEDA concerns, including sending trainers to Jaginistan, assisting in counter-piracy operations near Qolaysia, Ossinia, and Janapa, and enforcing a no-fly zone over Kossmil during the stalemate years of the Kossmilian Wars.

Vitosium became the 8th country to join the alliance on April 18th, 2008.

Emmiria and Albarine joined the alliance in a joint referendum on September 29th, 2011.

On March 19th, 2021, WEDA established resolutions marking the Kingdom of Zalluabed as a totalitarian government in the wake of that nation's military action in Hisrea province, which was likened to a genocide. On March 20th, shortly after the resolutions, the nations of Sulifa and Andaluni were accepted into WEDA.

In September 2021, the regime of Kyriakos Tasoulas in Syraranto tested a nuclear weapon and threatened conflict with the Sotoan Basin Union. In response, WEDA and the SBU signed a mutual defense agreement stating that if one organization was attacked, the other would defend it. On January 27th, 2022, the Tasoulas regime enacted a missile attack against Constantio and North Icadania, resulting in the navies of Zamastan, Emmiria, and Quetana sending ships to provide defensive capabilities for the SBU as they began to retaliate. On January 31st, 2022, Lutharia, Shoassau, East Chanchajilla, Mulfulira, Janapa, and Saint Croix and Bens became members. In February 2022, WEDA bombers conducted airstrikes against Syraranto in support of the SBU. After the fall of Tasoulas in March, WEDA forces started to withdraw from West Nortua and shifted to a humanitarian mission, and also provided support to the investigation of the Tirikan Genocide. Qolaysia joined WEDA on April 26th, 2022, after withdrawing from the TTPA.

Following the sinking of the Huangshan, WEDA reaffirmed the mutual-defense clause and backed the status of Gangkou.

Operations

Early operations

Anti-piracy missions

Beginning on 4 April 2009, WEDA deployed warships in an operation to protect maritime traffic in the Emmiria Sea and the Cantalle Ocean from Qolaysian and Togarian pirates, and help strengthen the navies and coast guards of regional states. The operation was approved by the Secretary-General and involved warships primarily from Zamastan and Emmiria though vessels from many other nations were also included. Operation Armored Ocean focused on protecting the ships of the Coalition of Crown Albatross which were distributing aid as part of the World Food Programme mission in Southern Adula. Yuan sent warships to participate in the activities as well. The operation sought to dissuade and interrupt pirate attacks, protect vessels, and to increase the general level of security in the region.

Ossinia

Syraranto intervention

In September 2021, the regime of Kyriakos Tasoulas in Syraranto tested an unsanctioned atmospheric nuclear weapon and threatened conflict with the Sotoan Basin Union. In response, WEDA and the SBU signed a mutual defense agreement stating that if one organization was attacked, the other would defend it. On January 27th, 2022, the Tasoulas regime enacted a missile attack against Constantio and North Icadania, resulting in the navies of Zamastan, Emmiria, and Quetana sending ships to provide defensive capabilities for the SBU as they began to retaliate. A coalition that included several WEDA members began enforcing a no-fly zone over Syraranto shortly afterwards, beginning with Operation Carmattan by the Quetanan Air Force on 29 January.

On 3 February, WEDA agreed to take control of the no-fly zone from the initial coalition, while command of targeting ground units remained with the SBU's forces. In February 2022, WEDA bombers conducted airstrikes against Syraranto in support of the SBU. After the fall of Tasoulas in March, WEDA forces started to withdraw from West Nortua and shifted to a humanitarian mission.

Partnerships with other countries

Besmenia shares since 2007 a partnership with WEDA through shared military technologies and intelligence sharing, which is evenly distributed with agreements with all member states. Although not a member state of WEDA itself, the government of Besmenia has participated in military exercises with the organization.

CAMDA shares intelligence cooperation with WEDA, with Courbagne, New Elkland serving a forward operating base for the Zamastanian Naval Forces.

The Sotoan Basin Union and WEDA share close ties, with WEDA stating in September of 2021 that they would defend the SBU if Syraranto attacked at the height of the civil war.
