The '''Vistara Commonwealth''' or '''Vistari Commonwealth''', formally the
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.

== Integration ==
<!--Write generally about efforts made to intergrade Commonwealth nations here-->
=== 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 [[W:Free trade area|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 [[W:Right of abode|right to settle]] for citizens of Commonwealth nations, as well as those born in Henerschat or any of the Crown territories <!-- Need to check this with Norgs and Cowlass-->, 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.
<!--Possible additions: Aid programs - yes I know. Very un-Vistari of me. Military - mainly prattle on about Vistari Keizerlijk but speak on informal defence ties.-->
