History
Activities
Northern Travel Agreement
The Northern Travel Agreement, ratified in 19XX, is a passport union that allows citizens of the Northern Forum il to travel and reside in another participating country without any travel documentation (e.g. a passport or national identity card) or a residence permit. Identity documentation is not legally required to enter or reside in any participating state. However, some companies and government agencies may require proof of identity in order to qualify for certain services. This is true for services like banking, which requires identity documentation issued by a local government authority. Those who travel within the participating countries but come from outside of the Northern Forum or the Zilverzee Area must provide identity documentation to enter, however it is not required to move between the countries if all participating governments maintain a visa-free travel agreement with a foreign state.
Northern Joint Aviation Agency
As the popularity of civilian air traffic increased, the Northern Forum agreed to establish a single aviation authority among them. In 19XX, the Northern Joint Aviation Agency was established. It maintains a joint aircraft register and oversees the approval and regulation of all civil aviation in participating states.
