Coalition of Steel

The Coalition of Steel is a political-economic-military pact formed in a world that saw the smallest of nations incapable of holding their own be eradicated by the more technologically sophisticated nations that willingly carried out imperialist acts to gain more territory and surpass other nations and gain power. The Coalition of Steel - a union directed by four Council States - was signed into existence by the Republic of Issilar in order to give financial, humanitarian and - in the worst of cases - military aid to poor and developing nations finding themselves in troubling situations, though it has recently taken a role in countering civil and human rights violations in the world.
The capital of the Coalition of Steel has been set - through default - at Val Royeaux. As such, a headquarters has also been constructed.
