The Western Euronia Defense Alliance, commonly referred to as WEDA or the Olympic Defense Alliance, is an intergovernmental military alliance between 10 Western Euronian and Eastern Adulan countries. The organization implements the Cross Olympic Treaty that was signed on March 29th, 2010. 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 (Caspia), and Gatovita (Vitosium).
Since its founding, the admission of new member states has increased the alliance from the original 5 countries to 10. Originally, the founding members were Zamastan, Rio Palito, Caspia, 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 2012 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, 2016, and then Albarine and Emmiria on September 29th, 2020. WEDA operates multinational training exercises with its member states, including the Sentinel Exercise which is held annually in a rotating member state.
