The '''Vistara Commonwealth''' or '''Vistari Commonwealth''', formally the '''Imperial Commonwealth of the Vistara''', is a political association of nations, constituent entities and territories legally administered in the name of the [[See of Supremacy|Vistari crown]]. As an organization, it represents the vast majority of the territories that comprise the former Vistari colonial empire, acting both as a forum for coordination and cooperation amongst governments as well as an active force in fostering continued positive non-governmental relations within the territories of the former colonial power, cantered around [[Vistaraland]] proper. It's current members comprise the [[Vistaraland|Imperial Vistari Confederation]], [[Twelijnland]], [[K'undzeti]], [[Maanbriak]], [[Satō]] and the [[Western Provinces]] - in addition to the Principality of Henerschat in [[Hvaloaszna]] as well as Poberhaven, Kamport and Ankbhaja - the territories jointly-controlled by the Vistari government as servants of the Crown and another sovereign state, collectively referred to as Crown territories. |
||
While the notion of a Commonwealth as the model for establishing common policy and trade between Vistaraland, its current holdings and independent subjects of the [[See of Supremacy]] existed in some form since the independence of [[Twelijnland]] in 1925, the Commonwealth as an association of territorial entities with varying degrees of sovereignty did not come about until the Pledge of Fredriksfort, made by Empress Tyrene I on 14 August 1929. The pledge established the Commonwealth Coordination Authority, a council of representatives from territories defined as "member countries", as well as non-voting observers from Henerschat and each of the Vistari crown territories. While the authority lacks powers of its own outside of the allocation of resources granted to the organization by member states and the establishment of items for discussion within meetings, the granting of country status to several Vistari colonies in 1929 established precedent for the organization to be dominated by Vistaraland and its direct subjects, a practice which remains today with the use application of constituent countries within the Imperial Vistari Confederation. |

The Vistara Commonwealth or Vistari Commonwealth, formally the Imperial Commonwealth of the Vistara, is a political association of nations, constituent entities and territories legally administered in the name of the Vistari crown. As an organization, it represents the vast majority of the territories that comprise the former Vistari colonial empire, acting both as a forum for coordination and cooperation amongst governments as well as an active force in fostering continued positive non-governmental relations within the territories of the former colonial power, cantered around Vistaraland proper. It's current members comprise the Imperial Vistari Confederation, Twelijnland, K'undzeti, Maanbriak, Satō and the Western Provinces - in addition to the Principality of Henerschat in Hvaloaszna as well as Poberhaven, Kamport and Ankbhaja - the territories jointly-controlled by the Vistari government as servants of the Crown and another sovereign state, collectively referred to as Crown territories.
While the notion of a Commonwealth as the model for establishing common policy and trade between Vistaraland, its current holdings and independent subjects of the See of Supremacy existed in some form since the independence of Twelijnland in 1925, the Commonwealth as an association of territorial entities with varying degrees of sovereignty did not come about until the Pledge of Fredriksfort, made by Empress Tyrene I on 14 August 1929.

Trade and travel agreements
Under the organization's umbrella are a considerable number of multilateral agreements which facilitate a framework of economic and political cooperation amongst member states. The cornerstone of these agreements is the Imperial Commonwealth Comprehensive Agreement on Trade (ICCAT), which established a free trade area amongst Commonwealth members, in addition to the crown territories - whose economic policies are under the jurisdiction of Vistaraland. The signing of ICCAT on May 11 1942, while arguably not substantively changing the trade relations between Vistaraland and many of its former holdings, formed a groundwork for further comprehensive agreements organized within the purview of the Commonwealth.
These agreements includes the establishment of visa-free travel and a right to settle for citizens of Commonwealth nations, as well as those born in Henerschat or any of the Crown territories , within any Commonwealth nation. Due to this system, those who fit such requirements, known legally as Commonwealth subjects, may freely live, enter and work across the Commonwealth with only a recognized form of identification of subject status and with minimal immigration controls. A nation within the Commonwealth is entitled to revoke a Commonwealth subject's right to settle within it on a case-by-case basis, however, and the right does not necessarily grant Commonwealth subjects equal status to citizens in a number of cases. Due to this, while there has been mutual acknowledgement of the need for member nations to maintain the ability to deport or deny privileges to other Commonwealth subjects, a considerable portion of Commonwealth nations have granted Commonwealth subjects an easier pathway towards gaining citizenship status and the rights included within it.
Sociocultural programmes
Beyond coordinating between national governments, the Vistara Commonwealth coordinates a number of social and cultural programs across its members with the goal of improving quality of life, education and cultural preservation within members. These programmes include international student programmes through the Imperial Overseas Studies Organization, as well as funding for research through the Commonwealth Scientific Innovation Fund.
