The Soil Union, was a de facto super state of the countries of the Soil Texture Continent. It aimed to bring unity and cooperation throughout the continent, promoting peace between various soil peoples and countries.

## History

### Founding

The Soil Union was formed as a result of the Sand War. The war was fought between the Sand Republic, and all other nations on the Soil Texture Compass (STC). The Sand Republic successfully subdued the leaders of all the nations of the continent, though fighting continued. The Soil Union was intended as a superstate that would unite the continent under one banner, and achieve a level of victory that the Sand Republic alone could not. All the countries of the STC were forced into joining at the end of the Sand War.

### Election

*See: 391 Soil Union Election*

On M8-30 390 ASB the first Soil Union Elections were announced by long time Union Head and King of the Sand Republic Austin Alonzo and were to take place in a year. The election took place on M8-30 391 ASB with Conrad Smith of the Party for Peace and Prosperity winning and becoming the new Union Head. The next day the Sandy Clay Autonomous Region declared independence from the Kingdom of Clayistan as the Revolution Republic of Sandy Clay (RRSC) beginning the Great Soil War.

On M4-17 394 ASB Dao Go, the Prime Minister of the RRSC was captured by Soil Union forces. Conrad Smith Was assassinated on M9-19 396 ASB and was replaced as Union Head by military man Frank Stallion. The Great Soil War ended in victory for the Soil Union and their allies, it was decided on M5-23 at the Jerusoilum Conference that the former RRSC would be granted independence from the Kingdom of Clayistan as a new country and would have heavy reoperations placed upon it. The former RRSC achieved independence on M7-01 397 ASB as the Sandy Clay Commonwealth.

### Tensions

On M5-07 401 ASB several Soil Union soldiers opened fire on a group of unarmed protesters in an event called the Maricis Massacre. Two separate revolutions and an invasion by the League of Soils broke out. On M7-02 401 ASB the Soil Union pulled out of Maricis and the rest of South Estuaria. The North Fleet is established on M8-26 401 ASB in South Estuaria and joins the League of Soils on that same day.
