==History==
The Foreign Economic Council came into existance when President Theodoric Augustus von Petrov began to take a greater interest in long-range investments of the Dorvish state, underneath recommendation of the Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development and the Ministry of Trade and Industry President von Petrov announced the Foreign Economic Council. At its creation the FEC was tasked with handling all foreign trade deals as a combination of the two ministries responsible for it, it slowly evolved into its current state when President von Petrov announced that it would be responsible for the Foreign Capital Fund, the new sovereign wealth fund of the Dorvish state. The FEC's first foray into investment was to Talmoria when it was contacted by the Dorvish State Railways to invest helping it build a large amount of railway infrastructure in Talmoria. The decision was approved after a 1b investment into the venture, the venture was financially managed by the Foreign Economic Council setting up the Dorvish-Southern Dovani Bank which financed the Dorvish State Railways operations and eventually sold portions of it to the Talmorian government. Starting in 3900 the Dorvish-Southern Dovani Bank began posting profits of roughly 1.2b DDO for the Dorvish and have continued to post similar profits as of recently.
The FEC entered its next era when President Thorismund von Petrov announced that the FEC would become a separate entity underneath the President of the Dorvish Republic, it would be managed by an appointed State Secretary of the Foreign Economic Council who would be entitled General-Director. The next major investment for the FEC and the FCF was announced by President Thorismund von Petrov and State Chancellor Safrax von Auspitz-Topol when they announced a direct 100b DDO investment into Hutori after Hutorian Chancellor James Murphy's visit. Economist of the FEC announce that they forcasted roughly a return of 300b DOO by 4032 when the return on investment will be truly seen. 
General-Director Visimar von Desidier, relative of Dorvish Foreign Minister Hilderic von Desidier, announced that the FEC is floating the idea of a 100b DDO (18.290b LOD) investment in the Eastern Development Organization pending approval by the organization. In December 4022 the investment was approved by the EDO and split between the General Fund (which grants low interest grants and loans) and the Loan Fund (which gives outright loans) and garnered the FEC 42% controlling interest in the organization.
The FEC continued to manage Dorvish holdings and in 4045 underneath new Minister of Finance Sebastian Brestrich the Dorvish government granted its second largest surplus yet of 191b DDO to the FEC which, combined with the ROI from the Hutorian investment which came later than expected and the yearly ROI from the Talmorian investment, brought the Foreign Capital Fund to 969b DDO, nearly 1 trillion DDO. Minister of Finance Brestrich weighed the options of creating a portion of the SWF into LOD in order to backup the Dorvish currency or using the Artanian Mark (ART) as the reserve currency.
Under the Federal Republic of Dorvik the Foreign Economic Council and the Foreign Economic Fund were placed in reserve, it was at the urging of the Social Nationalist Party and their Minister of Trade and Industry Joachim von Auspitz-Topol that the Foreign Economic Council be reformed. Instead of placing the organization underneath the President, like it previously had been the Foreign Economic Council was placed underneath the control of the Ministry of Trade and Industry with an appointed General-Director.
