The '''United Nations of the Auroran Continent''' (abbreviated as the UNAC) is a multilateral organization comprised of countries in Aurora. It was formed in December 2017 at the end of the [[Auroran Reunification Summit]] when the ''Charter of the United Nations of the Auroran Continent'' was passed by the founding members following negotiations facilitated by Emberitian President [[Nimona Poole]]. With the continent divided by the [[Auroran-PacificCerenerian War]] and the subsequent secession of the Allied states from the [[Auroran Continental Assembly]] (ACA) to form the [[Auroran Union]] (AU). Craving peace, the nations acceded to the union resisting the urge for reparations but conceding to concessions for insular states.
 
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 of the UNAC]] , 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 Zedakhli of [[Tuvaltastan]]. The [[Auroran Court of Justice]] resolves disputes between member states and applies and interprets the [[Agreements and acts of the UNAC]] that comprise [[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-PacificCerenerian 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.

Nevertheless opinions were divided and consensus around reforming the ACA or leaving to start a new organisation was lacking.
 
On 18 September 2017, a conference was held in [[Sani Bursil]], [[Staynes]], Great Morstaybishlia, to which the Oan and Morstaybishlian governments invited Tivot, Tuvaltastan and Blueacia to discuss the formation of the Auroran Union and the establishment of its key institutions.<ref>Rahua, Tipene. 2017.

From the outset, the AU was faced with gaping fissures. For instance, in its ascension letter, Axdel, specifically proclaimed its right to leave. It struggled to muster public support due to the perception of Oan and Morstaybishlian political dominance. At the outset, there were massive protests in Sani Bursil against the move, calling for the AU to be abandoned. Failure to secure Dragonia's<ref>Grand Duke of Dragonia. 2017.

Thus, it was easy for member states of the short-lived AU to heed President Nimona Poole's calls for reunification and reform.
