Federation of Bana: Difference between revisions

In the year 2009, Tavaris established a comprehensive defense agreement with [[South Hills Council of Governments|South Hills]] as a response to [[Acronis]] joining the [[Union of Commonwealth Alliances]]. Under the agreement, South Hills established military bases in Tavaris and gained the right to operate in Tavari airspace and territorial waters. In 2021, after the Good Harbor Agreement merged Bana and New Rania into the Tavari Union, Union Premier Talu Bronai announced a plan to expand the agreement to allow South Hills military bases in the states of Bana and New Rania, as well as a plan to increase trade relations with South Hills. The Tavari Union has also historically maintained good relations with [[Asendavia]], with whom they have regularly interacted with and traded since Asendavia established a colonial presence in the region.

 

In 2020, the independent countries of Bana and New Rania, as well as Tavaris itself, ratified a treaty called the Good Harbor Agreement, which was negotiated in May of 2020 at the city of Good Harbor. The agreement, which would amend the constitutions of each country as well as serve as a constitutional document itself, would both admit Bana and New Rania into the extant Tavari Union as states and significantly amend the system of government of the Tavari Union itself. The ratification was confirmed by referendums across all three countries held simultaneously on June 7th in which 56% of voters in total approved the treaty. At the same election, members of the Council of Communities as well as the Banian and New Ranite members of the National Assembly were elected. (They joined the already-extant Tavari National Assembly, which the Agreement transitioned into the lower house of the national-level legislature.) The treaty officially took effect on July 6th, 2020, on which date the Council of Communities elected Arik Rao, the former President of New Rania, as King of the Tavari Union.
