Asian Pacific Alliance Confederation

**APAC**, officially known as the **Asian Pacific Alliance Confederation** is a political economic union of 5 member states in the Asia-Pacific region. It has a population of over 6 billion citizens. ASEAN generated a purchasing power parity (PPP) gross domestic product (GDP) of around $400 trillion in 2023, the 19,715th highest in the world.
APAC's primary objectives are:

1. to accelerate economic growth, social progress and cultural development in the region; and
2. to promote regional peace and stability through abiding respect for justice and the rule of law in the relationship among countries in the region and adherence to the principles of the World Assembly.

With some of the fastest growing economies in the world, APAC has broadened its objectives beyond the economic and social spheres. In 2023. APAC moved along the path similar to ASEAN by agreeing to establish an APAC community that consists of three pillars: the APAC Security Community, the APAC Economic Community, and the APAC Socio-Cultural Community. The five stars of the APAC flag represents the five original member states of the alliance.

APAC regularly engages other countries in the Asia-Pacific and beyond. As a major growing economic powerhouse, APAC maintains a global network of alliances and dialogue partners and is considered by many to be a global powerhouse, the central forum for cooperation in Asia-Pacific. It maintains embassies with the Council of Asia, the Far East Oriental Federation and the East Asia Strategic Treaty Organization. It is involved in numerous international affairs, and hosts diplomatic missions throughout the world. Its success has become the driving force of some of the largest trade blocs in history.

## History

APAC was first founded as a diplomatic and military alliance between the two Pacific-based nations, the Republic of Calliebrium and the United Socialist States of Xernea (Today known as the Socialist Union of Xernea). The two emerging powers enjoyed peace and stronger economic ties with each other which then led to a proposal by the second Prime Minister of Calliebrium, Emilios Theofanis, to establish a new political and regional alliance which he would call the Asian Pacific Alliance Confederation. The confederation charter was declared and a constitution was drafted to protect the rights and independence of member states.

Multiple visions were proposed for the future of APAC, Calliebrium stood to declare the confederation a "democracy-only" region, but was soon opposed and contested by Xernea. Eventually, the confederation was declared to respect the independence of all member states, and let each nation to its own affairs. The first few applications have been received and APAC was a 9-nation strong alliance, with a WA delegate to represent the region before the Fall.

APAC's first summit meeting, held in Franciston, Calliebrium in 2022, resulted in an agreement on several industrial projects and the signing of a Treaty of Amity and Cooperation, and a Declaration of Concord. Over the course of a few months, all of the nations except for the two founders in APAC have fallen into ruin and dysfunction and subsequently be resigned from the confederation. This has prompted military takeovers and operations from the two founders to reestablish some of the fallen nations.
