Council of Gondwana

The Council of Gondwana (COG) is a continent-spanning economic and political bloc of nations in Gondwana. The Council of Gondwana was created in 1999 by the Second Aslaugh Accords, which built upon and expanded a predecessor organization, the Gondwanan Community. It is headquartered in Greater Asluagh, Aivintis.

History

The organization has roots in a set of bilateral agreements between Aivintis and Tavaris regarding military cooperation and free trade, which were signed in 1983 and 1988, respectively. Due to significant interest from other countries in the region in joining the Aivinto-Tavari free trade area, the first Asluagh Accords were signed in 1990 to create the Gondwanan Community. The Gondwanan Community is a free-trade area in which citizens of members can move freely between member states without border controls. The agreement also establishes mutual extradition between all members of the Gondwanan Community.

Several countries joined the Gondwanan Community, but participation was limited by the mandates required for membership in the first Asluagh Accords. In 1999, a second summit was held in Asluagh to create the modern Council of Gondwana. In contrast to the Gondwanan Community, the Council of Gondwana does not require tariff-free trade with other members, nor does it require member states to remove border controls. The Council of Gondwana serves primarily as a forum for participating states to address issues of regional concern, and to encourage further voluntary political, military, and economic cooperation. The Gondwanan Community continues to exist as a part of the Council of Gondwana that members can choose to join as a higher level of integration.

In 2022, a scientific division of COG was founded, the Gondwanan Scientific Research Institute.

The working language of the Council of Gondwana is Staynish, but the official languages have since the foundation of the organization's earliest antecedents have been the commonly used languages of the founding co-chairs: Staynish, Serdemic, and Tavari.

Membership

Membership in the Council of Gondwana is open to all sovereign states on the continent. The Second Asluagh Accords state that, in order for a state to become a member, "the heartland or majority of the applicant state must be on the landmass of Gondwana or islands adjacent to Gondwana." The Accords also specify that a member-state "must not be subservient to a foreign state." Initially, this rendered imperial powers based on other continents with holdings in Gondwana unable to be represented in the Council. In 2004, the Second Asluagh Accords were amended to allow these foreign powers to become observers and participate in Council deliberations without vote. Sovereign states on Gondwana may also choose to be observers, of which two have done so: Toloria and Hlenderia.
