The '''East Pacific Treaty Organization''' (EPTO) is an [[wikipedia:intergovernmental_organization|intergovernmental]] [[wikipedia:military_alliance|military alliance]] in [[the East Pacific]]. The organization constitutes a system of [[wikipedia:collective_security#collective_defense|collective defense]] whereby its member states agree to mutual defense in response to an attack by any external party. The EPTO maintains a [[wikipedia:raid_deployment_force|rapid deployment force]], the Emergency Action Force (EAF), to quickly address immediate threats to member states. The organization also operates the East Pacific Armament Program (EPAC), which promotes, facilitates, and coordinates collaborative efforts by EPTO members to develop military technology, equipment, and weaponry. The EPTO, EAF, and EPAC headquarters are located in Liberty City, [[nation/Free_Pacific_States|FPS]]. There are five EPTO members: [[Free Pacific States]], [[East Malaysia]], [[Xiopothos]], [[Lyon]], and [[Tuvaltastan]]. [[Iseul]], [[Hoopland]], East Gemica Islands, and [[Gim]] hold observer status.
 
The East Pacific Treaty Organization was formed in 2005 as an alliance between the Free Pacific States and East Malaysia, gaining the name "East Pacific Treaty Organization" through a combination of the names of the two nations. These countries aimed to combat rising instability across Urth, but particularly in Yasteria. The alliance quickly gained new members, and at one time, stood as [[Urth]]'s predominant international organization. Over time, the alliance evolved to focus on defending against the threat of [[nation/Packilvania|Pax]], especially after the 2006 [[Drone Insurrection]]. The alliance fell into inactivity in the 2010s, however, when member state [[nation/Drakkengard|Drakkengard]] peacefully joined the Pax Empire. Most members left after that point, and though EPTO leaders ultimately concluded that Drakkengard had yielded its membership by joining with the Pax, the organization remained dormant. The EPTO members remain allied, however, and the EPAC continues to operate very actively. The EAF retains a small force at this time, comprised of [[wikipedia:special_forces|special forces]], air units, and support personnel.
