Ancient Sea Trade Agreement (ASTA)

Signed in 561AER.
==From Announcement==
Today representatives of the Republic of Shiha and the Republic of Kaarnor met with the Foreign Secretary, Hillary Clinton, in Corrintrin to formalise the final details of a groundbreaking new trade agreement. ASTA, the Ancient Sea Trade Agreement, establishes a free trading zone in the East with all signatories pledging to support tariffless trade between the other nations. 
This trade agreement is seen as groundbreaking as it fully opens up the interconnectedness of the free market to the new economies of the East. The Government hopes that this will allow a smoother and cheaper trading of goods and resources to take place and has announced that any other nation is able to sign up to ASTA so long as they agree to the base regulation which is enshrined within it.
