The Economic Community of Newfoundland (Narrish: Økonomisk Fællesskab af Nyfundetland, OKOFN) is a continental union and trade bloc covering X member states in Newfoundland. OKOFN was founded in 1999 by the Treaty of X which replaced the Sekakawon Trade Organisation which was founded in 1962. OKOFN is officially governed by the Secretariat of the Community which is located in X, the Secretariat is advised by the OKOFN Convention, a gathering of leaders from the community which meets semi-regularly, as well as the Newfoundlander Parliament which is comprised of representatives from each country's primary legislative body.
The stated goal of OKOFN according to former President of Ehoway Søren Krogh is to promote economic and political cooperation between various states in Newfoundland and to respect the individual and unique characteristics of each member state in Newfoundland. As such the Community generally practices non-interventionism when it comes to the internal affairs of member states. The official working languages of the Community are Narrish, insertlang, insertlang and insertlang. The Community is an official partner of the Concert of Nations as well as !otherinternationalorgs.

Objectives
The objectives of the Economic Community of Newfoundland as stated in the Treaty of X are:
- Achieve and promote stability, peace, cooperation and self-determination within Newfoundland.
- Support economic cooperation between member states and strengthen existing trade networks.
- Respect the territorial integrity, internal affairs, economic system and government system of each member state.
- Recognise and respect the inherent uniqueness and abilities of all Newfoundlander nations.
- Promote cooperation with international partners in the name of upholding peace and stability across the world.
- Support initiatives to raise the standard of living and economic status of all Newfoundlanders.
- Promote and support sustainable and achievable development in every member state.
- Defend the common interests of all member states.
- Recognise and uphold human rights as set out by the international community.
- Strengthen the political, social and economic integration of Newfoundland.
- Promote and strengthen democratic initiatives and norms in each member state.
The Community's policy of non-interventionism has been criticised by some for harming the community's attempts at integration as member states generally avoid commenting on other member states' domestic affairs. The Modern Democracy Alliance of Ehoway came out against the policy and calls for member states to have the ability to suspend or expel other member states who violate the Community's stated objectives, the Alliance claims that Ehoway has violated the 12th objective of OKOFN and has called for punitive measures to be taken against the current government for this.
