ECOSEAS or the Economic Community of Southern and External Avalonian States is an economic, cultural, and military union located in Avalonia. Its membership is largely located in Southern Avalonia. Its primary mechanism is a multi-lateral economic & trade organization. The combined GDP of member nations as of 2020 is $12.5 trillion, with observer members it is $19.7 trillion.
The union was founded in 1968, and formalized in the Treaty of Tchetchuàn City, although several of the member-states had been in an informal alliance since the late 1920s.
History
ECOSEAS was initially formed in 1968 as ECOMsAD, an economic, political, and military union to bind the political entities formed from the SiWallqanqan reconquest of the Paracas Coast. The SiWallqanqan monarch instrumental in its formation was Queen Tica 2. The Directorate was the governing body subservient to the SiWallqanqan monarch that governed ECOMsAD and oversaw the member nations, by requiring a Consular-President, given the power to act on par with the nations Head of State, only upon the orders of the SiWallqanqan monarch.
The Directorate was disbanded in 2002 after continuing outcry following the 1994 Constitutional Crisis in Sinaya and displeasure with the system from Jinhang and Hosuman. The Parliamentary Sub-Structure was dissolved in 2010, at the very beginning of 7 year-long negotiations with Zahava to join.
Areas of Interest
ECOSEAS members seek to cooperate on a number of issues such as:
- Sustainable development;
- Peacekeeping;
- Counter-terrorism and security;
- Economic growth and trade;
- Promote regional peace and stability based on the rule of law;
- Equal legal protections and rights for all persons, regardless of gender or ethnic background;
- Promote economic, political, security, military, educational, and sociocultural integration among members
Structure
Modern Structure
Replacing the former Parliamentary Sub-Structure in 2010, ECOSEAS is managed by individual delegations from each member nation and observer. Each nation's delegation is entitled to a single vote.
The current headquarters of ECOSEAS is Reflection Plaza, within Tchetchuan City in Sinaya, the plaza was designed by SiWallqanqan architects as an arcology made up of three large step pyramids made of reclaimed ancient masonry, glass, and steel. The buildings are aligned to follow three astral planes to important Quechuan constellations, and each building has its own sun-aperture, designed to pass over each building's central statue on specific days.
Parliamentary Sub-Structure
Composed of 340 seats, from which are assigned selected officials from each nation and also the major corporate partners of ECOMsAD. At the time of the dissolution, its makeup was; 164 seats are controlled by SiWallqanqa, 58 by Sinaya, 71 by Jinhang and Hosuman, 29 by Arumpampa, and 18 to Pukara.
The Directorate
The Directorate is a now-disbanded governing body within the ECOMsAD command structure, that oversaw the nations under the hegemony of SiWallqanqa throughout most of the 20th century. It was composed primarily of members of the Parliamentary Sub-Structure, who had been selected by the SiWallqanqan government to represent their nation within ECOMsAD. Members of the Directorate also oversaw the appointment, verification, and oversight of elected and non-elected officials within the nations under SiWallqanqa's hegemony (Sinaya, Pukara, and the Arum Republic).
It was officially disbanded in 2002, in response to public outcry, but continued to exist in a less visible state, acting through laws and ordnances enshrined in ECOMsAD and national constitutions, and through control of key institutions. During the SiWallqanqan Civil War, the last remnants of the Directorate have swept aside, as SiWallqanqa's influence decreased within ECOMsAD. At this point, SiWallqanqa still possesses soft power projection over its former subjects, and also retains the largest contributions and elected positions within the Parliamentary Sub-Structure.
Economy
ECOSEAS is a primarily manufacturing-based economy, producing vast quantities of resources and manufactured product each year, capitalising on the resource-rich nature of the Paracas Coast, and the technological and scientific advancements of many of its member-states: Jinhang, Chezzetcook and Zahava.
Within ECOMsAD several nations share a common currency using the Paraci (₱), adopted in 1947. Prior to that, the SiWallqanqan Crown (SCr) had been used throughout the same nations, coming from the imposition of Tiperyn financial institutions upon SiWallqanqa during the Colonial Era.
The Paraci is overseen in the Central Southern Financial Commission which is headquartered in Belhavo, Republika Akhalia. Countries that use the Paraci are: SiWallqanqa, Sinaya, Arum Republic and Pukara.

Legislative History and Initiatives
From 2017 onward the following initiatives have been adopted by ECOSEAS:
Starting yearly exercises dubbed, Operation Unity a two week long series of multinational military joint exercises aimed at providing better integration and cooperation between ECOSEAS member states militaries, and to enhance the combat readiness and effectiveness of ECOSEAS forces in responding to a variety of scenarios.
- Established Cooperative Security and Military Information Agreement (CSMIA), member states share key signals and military intelligence with other members
- Established the ECOSEAS Overseas Development Consortium (EODC), an international program aimed at building stronger ties between ECOSEAS and developing nations around the globe
- Established the ECOSEAS Joint Arms Research and Development Commission (EJARDC), commission set up to facilitate research and development of military hardware, to ensure interoperability between member nations, serves as oversight committee on joint arms development projects.
- Established the ECOSEAS Commission for Law Enforcement Cooperation (ECLEC), which serves as an international organization that facilitates police cooperation and crime control between ECOSEAS member states on a strictly defined set of crimes, such as terrorism and human trafficking
- Established freedom of movement between member states, allows base sharing between member states on a case by case basis at the discretion of the hosting country.
- Established the ECOSEAS Sovereign Wealth Fund(ESWF), a sovereign wealth fund which all members may optionally pay into, members who have contributed receive a percentage of investment gains back every year
- Established the ECOSEAS First Initiative (EFI), whereby member states give preferential treatment and priority, in the form of lower tariffs and other financial incentives to trading with member states versus non-member states
- As part of the EFI, ECOSEAS members have adopted a Common Preferential Tariff (CPT). The CPT stipulates that goods and resources originating from within ECOSEAS must have lower tariffs placed on them, than those originating from outside ECOSEAS. States may submit specific goods for exemption from this protocol on an individual per good basis. The overall goal of the CPT is to eliminate tariffs entirely on ECOSEAS sourced goods and resources to promote and facilitate trade between member states.
The following initiatives have been proposed, and either failed to reach the necessary votes to become adopted universally or have been adopted by some members but not all in separate agreements:
Native Migration Act is a bill proposed by Baileneu Ma that would allow native ethnicities from across ECOSEAS nations to hold citizenship without Visa requirements in the nations of ECOSEAS. This would also allow for limited native migration from Santa Magdalena and Albaterra, for asylum seekers and some economic migrants.
As of 2022 this bill has been adopted by Zahava and Baileneu Ma and partially by Theyka.
Biofuel Trade and Production Amendment is a bill proposed by Baileneu Ma that expands upon the 1956 Treaty of Pamineau (ABS) that maintains the initial act, alongside other rules such as the widespread (80%) biofuel usage for public transport and aviation, as well as all ECOSEAS cars must be capable of using biofuels for cars. This bill also includes further standardization biofuel mixtures of the following: Bio-Diesel (BD40, BD60, BD75), Bio-Petrol (BP30, BP60, BP70), Bio-Butanol (BB20, BB45, BB60), Bioethers (DME, TAME, MTBE), Syngas, Methanol Fuels and Ethanol Fuels (E35, E50, E75).
As of 2022 this bill has been partially adopted by Zahava, Baileneu Ma and Theyka.
The following Initiatives have been repealed:
