United Nations of the Auroran Continent: Difference between revisions

After the Auroran Imperial War (AIW), Auroran integration was seen as a solution to the extreme nationalism which had devastated the continent, and the participants of the AIW would attempt a Pan-Aurora unionization. In 1976, The Morstaybishlian Empire, The Grand Republic of Salovia, The Republic of XagrurgEthalria, The Free State of Kostoria-Obertonia, The Republic of Norograd, and The Grand Matriarchy of Ethalria signed the Weyrcliff Pact, which established the baseline policy of future treaties and unions to come, in particular the then-newly-formed Auroran Continental Assembly (ACA). The first attempt at economic integration, it had relative success in its beginning years, setting the foundation for and the construction of numerous public works projects, most notably the Auroran highway system and the continent-widespread adoption of the [[Kirib]] as the de facto currency of Aurora.

The end of bothnumerous civil wars, including the Lyrevale Civil War in 1987, the Norograd Civil War in 1996 and the Salovian Civil War in 2005 sawresulted in a dramatic rise in nationalism, especially within the former Salovian territories of Kostromastan and Baykalia. Radical nationalist factions within Ethalria also saw their popularity slowly grow through this period, and over time the growth of these factions would eventually result in the escalation of tensions within the continent. Ethalria along with the northern half of the Kostrom Confederation would form an alliance of its own, known as the Axis. Despite the obvious threat this alliance posed to the continent's peace, the ACA would do nothing in opposition to it. In response to this lack of action, the Oan Isles sent to other Auroran nations an offer to join a new union that would take the form of the Auroran Union. The nations of The United Kingdom, Tivot, Tuvaltastan, Blueacia, The Oan Isles, and The Yor Isles would ratify the Auroran Union's treaty. This rapid ratification would soon be called the "Auroran Split" by some.
