Greater Oan Union: Difference between revisions

Although the nations that comprise the union are formally equal nations, the PolynesianGreater Oan Union is seen as a political and geographic extension of the influence of [[The Oan Isles|The Oan Isles]] over the [[Kohatu Isles]] and a conduit for the desired reintegration of the [[AsianMorstaybishlian West Pacific IslandsTerritories]] into a a greater [[Polynesia|Greater Oan]] state led by the Oan Isles.

Through the Charter of Polynesia,Greater theOathe Greater PolynesianOan Union claims to represent the interests of all the people of Polynesia,Greater aOa rough geographic, cultural and linguistic region of insular states in the Morstaybishlian and Caven Seas and the Pacific Ocean.

The union claims exists to provide mutual economic, political and military support, to control the flow of goods, people and financial capital, and to provide for the protection and promotion of the cultural heritage of the PolynesianGreater Oan peoples. Nonetheless, the Oan Isles has the ability to interfere in the internal affairs of member states directly (e.g. approving changes to the constitution of the Kohatu Isles).

* The Caven PolynesianGreater Oan Realm of the [[Kohatu Isles]]

The Emperor of Polynesia[[Rangitanga-a-te-Moana]], His Serene Majesty, [[Oahoanu]], is the head of state of each member state. In those countries in which he does not permanently reside, his duties are exercised by a viceroy. Although the Emperor is the head of the union, he has virtually no real political power. Nonetheless, the Crown is a powerful conceptual unifying force and symbol of the people of Polynesia.Greater Oa

Although the PolynesianGreater Oan Union superficially recognises the Asian Pacific Islands and the Kohatu Isles as an equal member statesstate, according to international custom theyit areis a dependent territoriesterritory of the Oan Isles. This arises because the Oan government is responsible for the foreign relations, defence and monetary policy of the other members, without those membersthe Kohatu Isles being able to exert similar power over the Oan Isles. Moreover, some legislative prerogatives such as foreign trade are shared by the Oan and nativeKohatuan governments. In practice, the head of government of the Oan Isles, Prime Minister [[Maui Uye-Ahua]] is the most powerful official in the PolynesianGreater Oan Union.

Nonetheless, the Serene Council exists as a forum for the countries to confer on important issues. The Serene Council is comprised of representatives of the member states and has some minor powers to make decisions over limited issues which affect the whole union. In practice it consists of mostly Oan politicians and [[Peerage of the Oan Isles|peers]]. Its sole real responsibility is to deal with matters of succession relating to the Crown of Greater Oa It is helmed by the chair, currently a politician from the AsianKohatu PacificIsles, IslandsLord Emerald Akare, RayaGreat Chief of AmonMarakate, who oversees the administrative issues of the UnionCouncil.

AlthoughBecause the Oan Isles is a member of the [[United Nations of the Auroran-Pacific Continent]], the otherKohatu memberIsles statesis arealso covered by UNAC notlaw. Because the Union allows free trade, travel and capital flows between nations, citizens and businesses of these countries have access to the UNAC markets. Because the Oan Isles is closely aligned with the UNAC, especially the [[Great Morstaybishlia|United Kingdom]], the foreign relations of the Asian Pacific Islands and the OanKohatu Isles closely align with those of the former Allied powers.
