Line 39:
The alliance consists of trade agreements, a military pact, and integrates its member nations. Unique among international organizations of the Urth, it is considered a ''sui generis'' institution eschewing the boundaries of an alliance and a supranational government. The legislative branch of the UNAC consists of the Council of the UNAC and Auroran Parliament. The latter passes non-binding resolutions and approves legislative proposals and the former has power over security issues. The Commission, which forms the administrative branch, reports to and is appointed by the UNAC legislature. It is headed by the President of the UNAC Commission and the senior-most political figure in the organization is [[Lara Tarasovna]] former Speaker of the Zedakhil of Tuvaltastan. The Auroran Court of Justice resolves disputes between member states and applies and interprets Auroran law. The Auroran Security Agency in [[Dragonia]] and the [[Auroran Monetary Fund]] fall within the authority of the UNAC. Although not part of the UNAC, the [[Auroran Central Bank]] is closely affiliated with the UNAC.

The end of the [[Auroran-Pacific War]] left substantial economic damage, loss of life and the decimation of the Pan-Auroran thought that had shaped the continent. On 17 September 2017, the Oan Isles urged several Auroran nations to leave the ACA as the Oans felt that the ACA betrayed the Auroran people by failing to prevent the war and that remaining in it with their enemies was unacceptable and sent a draft ''Charter of the Auroran Union''.<ref>Le Roy, Locklyn. 2017.

''Oan Isles decides to leave the ACA''. https://forum.theeastpacific.com/oan-news-t3208-s45.html#p186389</ref> With the wounds of the war still fresh, some Allies were amenable to leaving and starting afresh. Nevertheless opinions were divided and consensus around reforming the ACA or leaving to start a new organisation was lacking.

On 21 November 2017, President Nimona Alistair Poole of Emberwood Coast invited global nations to attend the International Conference of Demilitarisation and Disarmament.<ref>Poole, Nimona. 2017. ''Invitation to the International Conference on Demilitarisation and Disarmament''. https://forum.theeastpacific.com/in-defense-of-peace-t3553.html#p189509</ref> Member states of the Auroran Union and the Auroran Continental Assembly were asked to attend. The event began on 26 November 2017. Although the event was aimed at nations of the continent of Aurora, representatives from other nations asked and were allowed to attend. At the time, the purpose of the event was to encourage peace across the Urth. Given that the Auroran-Pacific War affected the entire world to varying degrees, the organisers felt that it was appropriate for all nations to attend. Some nations expressed their misgivings about the event. For instance, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Oan Isles, [[Locklyn Le Roy]], told the Emberitian president that the decision to invite dictatorial states (an thinly veiled allusion to the Axis nations) would dilute the purpose of the event and render its outcomes futile.<ref>Le Roy, Locklyn. 2017.
