The '''Alliance of Northwest Gondwana''', abbreviated '''ANG''', is a free trade and free-travel agreement among states in the northwestern region of the continent [[Gondwana]]. It was established on May 2nd, 2018, when the Charter Establishing the Alliance of Northwest Gondwana entered into effect. Negotiations were held at a summit held in the city of Crystal Coast, [[Tavaris]] in April and May of 2017. The founding members of the Alliance are [[Ayaupia]], Hausberg, [[Libertanny]], [[Lunaria]], [[Reijia]], Talusi, [[Tavaris]], [[Vaklori]] and [[Zukchiva]]. The [[Federation of Bana]] was admitted as the 10th member on July 13th, 2020. The headquarters of the Alliance are also located in Crystal Coast.
On June 15th, 2021, after two rounds of voting, [[Ayaupia]] was elected by the Alliance Council to serve as President for a one-year term; Ayaupia is the first country other than Tavaris to hold the position. Tavaris held the seat upon the formation of the bloc in 2018 and was re-elected in 2019 and 2020.
==Alliance Trade Area==
Line 14 ⟶ 96:
AFTA rules allow for member-states to temporarily establish border controls in the event of an emergency for up to six months. Keeping restrictions for longer than six months allows the Alliance to sanction a member-state, which includes allowing the other member-states to impose reciprocal restrictions on the member in violation.
The current members of the Free Travel Area are Ayaupia, Hausberg, Lunaria, Talusi, Tavaris and Vaklori. The Federation of Bana was a member of the ANG Free Travel Area until its abrupt withdrawal in January of 2021.
==Governance==
The governing body of the Alliance is called the Alliance Council, which consists of one representative from each member-state. The Alliance Council appoints the Secretary-General of the Alliance of Northwest Gondwana, who is in charge of day-to-day administration of the organization and leads the Alliance Secretariat, the administrative support staff. The Council, Secretary-General, and Secretariat are all based in Crystal Coast,
==Membership==
Membership in the Alliance is open to all sovereign states "with territory in the region of Northwestern Gondwana." The Charter defines the region as "those portions of the continent of Gondwana, including islands off the coast, north of the line 15 degrees south of the Aequator and west of the line 100 degrees west of the Prime Meridian." Colonies and non-self governing territories are not eligible for membership. Membership may be granted by a two-thirds affirmative vote of the Alliance Council.
Any nation may choose to revoke its membership in the ANG at any time by issuing a written declaration of such to the Alliance Council. Such revocation shall become effective one year after the declaration is received by the council unless extended.

===Observer Status===
Sovereign states that are located outside the region can be granted observer status by
===Sanctions===
The Alliance Council has the power to suspend or revoke the membership of member-states who are held to have "acted contrary to the established doctrines" of the Charter. In order to suspend a member, the Council must vote by 2/3, while revocation of membership requires a unanimous vote excluding the member-state being considered for revocation.
==Alliance Space Cooperative==
In 2020, the Alliance officially inaugurated its joint space program, the Alliance Space Cooperative. Currently, member states Ayaupia, Tavaris, and Zukchiva participate in the Cooperative, although membership is open to all member-states of the Alliance. The launch site for the Cooperative is at Vraalatec in Ayaupia, and is positioned very near the Aequator. This allows for easier launches into aequatorial, geostationary orbits, and because the site faces east over the sea, rockets can take advantage of the Urth's angular momentum while having less risk of debris falling on inhabited areas.
The program's first launch took place on December 26th, 2020, with manned orbital missions planned to take place as soon as 2021. On January 11th, 2021, the Tavari Union abruptly withdrew from the Alliance Space Cooperative without immediately citing a reason for its withdrawal. It was later announced that the move had been in protest of the [[Tavaris|Tavari]] [[nuclear weapons state|nuclear program]], and Banian objections to sharing sensitive scientific information that could be used by Tavaris to advance their nuclear technology.
