The New Terran Compact
Established: 2637
Founded By: Teutionia, 21 Tribes
Motto: "Finding New Ground"
About: The New Terran Compact is a mixture of Defensive Pact, Trade League, and Science Initiative. While so providing an optional free movement treaty for its members. The Compact's Direction is lead by The Presidium, a council of each member-state, each member is given one seat, filled by that state's Head of Government or appointed representative.
Mission Statement: While the word Terra might make people think the Compact is centered on Earth, the New Terran Compact seeks to "Find New Ground", for both its members and the outside world, new ground as in new middle and common grounds for all life in the Orion Spur to coexist. The Compact seeks to promote stability, liberty, and prosperity through forged and lasting alliances of common and liked minded states.
Criteria to join:
Due to the Covenant and Reich, the founding members being highly developed countries with high standards of living with centuries of recorded history, the Compact can’t risk bringing in countries with high-risk factors that might tear down the Compact. Furthermore, joining countries must pass certain benchmarks for membership. Membership is "invite only", but those who wish to join are free to express interest in joining.
