These policies laid the groundwork for the Tivot Sandwich. But the full potency of the Tivot Sandwich arose when Tivot joined the [[Auroran Continental Assembly]]. The ACA lowered trade barriers and facilitated the easy movement of people, goods and services. Companies and high net worth individuals looking to lower onshore taxation expenses started looking to tax havens to avoid these taxes.
 
In the process, two classes of tax havens (more accurately known as offshore financial centres or OFCs) emerged: sink OFCs and conduit OFCs. Sink OFCs were the final destinations for shifted profits because of their highly opaque business practices and virtually non-existent tax rates. Countries such as [[Blueacia]], [[Frorkstolm]] and the [[NecratiesNECRATIES Islands]] fulfilled this function. However, because the modern financial system was becoming even more complicated and policymakers were wary of these tax havens, many of them struggled to sign the treaties needed to shift corporate tax liabilities easily.
 
Thus, Tivot positioned itself as a conduit OFC between onshore tax jurisdictions and sink OFCs. Due to its international reputation and the careful work of building its institutional mechanisms starting with Chief Executive Eliri Dzrevili, Tivot was able to gain the trust needed to enter into corporate tax liability treaties with both onshore and offshore jurisdictions. Tivot developed a highly sophisticated structure that involved taxation, company and IP law to develop the base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) corporate tax tools that came to be known as the Tivot Sandwich.
 
The country maintained a policy of avoiding military, political and economic conflict and maintaining commerce with as many nations as possible, further building its trust. During the [[Auroran-Pacific War]], Aurora was divided between the Rivendale Pact and the Bursil Alliance. To both ensure the neutrality of the [[Auroran Central Bank]] and to protect it from the fighting taking place between Ethalria and Great Morstaybishlia, it was moved to [[Tivot]] where it remained. Despite being nominally part of the Bursil Alliance, the reality was that Tivot was a neutral financial broker. This proximity to the ACJ and the practical neutrality that this created, Tivot banks were able to act as conduits for taxes between warring states, further cementing the relevance and necessity of Tivot as a conduit OFC especially for Frorkstolm and the Necraties Islands which were overseas dependencies of Great Morstaybishlia and were thus subject to embargoes and sanctions by Rivendale Pact member states.
