Asian Union

## Description

The Asian Union is an alliance centered in Asia. It was created on January 18th by the founding nations of China, Elaris and Manilla. The goal of the alliance is to bring peace to Asia, as tensions before had almost caused war in the continent before.

## History

Below is a brief history of the Asian Union to date.

### How It Started

The Asian Union was created in order to maintain peace in the continent so that no wars would happen. Additionally, if one of the nations in the alliance was threatened, the other nations would also have to help as well. So not only did it give peace to the nation, but it also helped band the nations together. Only the founding nations (listed above) would have the majority of the power in the alliance. The Rules of the alliance were also set by the founding nations, and they included that in order to be in it, you had to be based in Asia, must be at peace with the other nations in it and more.

### The Flag

The Flag of the Asian Union was created only a few hours after the original formation of the alliance. It was presented by the Minister of Foreign affairs of the ROC, who had the idea to combine the stars of the European Union flag and combine it with a sun, so it kind of combined Europe and Asia. All the members agreed, and it officially became the well-known symbol of the Asian Union.

### Peace And Stability

As predicted, the Asian Union brought peace and stability to the continent, and was very successful, and it soon became well known around Globalia.

### New Members

Although the Asian Union had been a success, it unfortunately still only had the founding members of China, Elaris and Manilla. The Union decided that it was time to branch out and look for new members to join them. The first nation the Asian Union asked was Japan, a large nation. However, they declined, not wanting to be a part of it. After Japan, the Asian Union stopped looking for a while, but soon the nation of Java, sitting in Southern Indonesia, was looking to join the Asian Union. However, the alliance did not get a chance to answer because there was a new issue.

### The Near-War of Asia

Soon, a new nation was created in Asia. Although originally called the Burmese Empire, it relocated and soon became the FarEasternRepublic, or FER. The leader began threatening China. At first China did not take the threats seriously since there was only one person. However, the conflict quickly escalated after 3 of China's members left to join the FER. This is when things got heated up. After continued threats, China decided that the only real option to resolve this was through war. The Asian Union nations backed China, and they secretly began working on an invasion. Although the FER expressed mild interest in joining the Asian Union, they were quickly declined, since the nations were preparing for war. As the days went on, the Asian Union continued prepping for war when they learned that you had to announce war. Both sides agreed that war would take place the following week, on February 11th. At this time, it was the 5th. So the two sides continued preparing. As the days went on, war looked scarier and scarier for each side, and soon, the ROC had enough. They approached the FER, looking to reach a peace agreement, but they declined. Then the FER came to China to find peace, but they to succeed. Eventually, other nations outside of Asia began joining the conflict, with Union agreeing to help the Asian Union, and Namibia supporting the FER after they helped out in the Namibia-Lithuania war. With tensions becoming higher, the two sides finally agreed on a treaty they both liked.

### The Treaty of Tianjin

With war almost upon Asia, the Asian Union and the FER finally agreed on a treaty. The treaty states that the city of Tianjin in China was to go to the FER. The original member of the FER who was threatening China would not be able to become leader of the FER, and lastly, the newly-granted territory of Tianjin going to the FER would become a DMZ (De-militarized zone). The treaty was signed, and peace was made. The Asian Union returned to peace, and not just Asia, but Globalia was relaxed, knowing that war wouldn't happen between the two sides.
