International Regulatory Military Alliance

The **International Regulatory Military Alliance** (**IRMA**), also called the **Supranational Military Alliance**, is an intergovernmental military alliance inside the International Regulatory Association (IRA). Between 21 countries are currently members of IRMA, including major global powers such as the Federal Republic of Terranova, the Kingdom of Arvandor, the Republic of Amanat, Canada, Germany, and the United States of America. IRMA was established with the goal of promoting international security and cooperation through joint military exercises, intelligence sharing, and coordinated defense strategies. Established in the aftermath of the Battle of Niovloa in 1959, the organization put into effect the Supranational Military Agreement and incorporated it into the Global Regulatory Corporation Treaty, signed in Enigma Atoll on May 5th, 1960.

IRMA is a collective security system; its member countries commit to mutual defense and the principle of collective response to any external threat. During the liberation of Avernia, IRMA operated as a unified force, deploying troops and resources to support the Avernian resistance against the invading forces. The alliance remained in place after the conflict, with member countries continuing to collaborate on various security and defense initiatives. The organization's motto is "Strength in Unity, Security in Cooperation."

The Global Regulatory Corporation Treaty (GRCT) serves as the legal framework for the establishment and implementation of the Supranational Military Agreement. The GRCT outlines the rights and responsibilities of member countries, including the sharing of intelligence, joint military exercises, and mutual defense assistance. It also provides mechanisms for dispute resolution and ensures compliance with international laws and regulations. The Supranational Military Agreement outlined the framework for member nations to contribute troops, resources, and intelligence to IRMA operations. This treaty also established a system of regular meetings and consultations among member nations to discuss security concerns and coordinate defense efforts. Since its inception, IRMA has played a crucial role in maintaining global stability and fostering collaboration among its member states.

The International Regulatory Association's main headquarters are located on Engima Atoll, near the Rodlines Forest, while IRMA's military headquarters are near the coast of the atoll, strategically positioned to monitor and respond to any potential threats. The alliance has increased its IRMA Response Force deployments in recent years, and the combined militaries of all IRMA members include around 2.8 million soldiers and personnel. The IRMA Response Force is a highly trained and specialized unit that is ready to swiftly respond to any emergency or crisis situation. Their combined military spending as of 2029 constituted around 57 percent of the global military expenditure.

IRMA formed with ten founding members and has added new members six times, most recently when Zephyr Ridge joined the alliance on February 21, 2027, 68 years after IRMA's formation, following the battle of Zephyr Ridge. Zephyr Ridge's inclusion in IRMA further strengthened the alliance's capabilities and expanded its reach in the region. Following the acceptance of its application for membership in October 2026, Dominora Veridia became the 16th member, with its Admission Convention signed on January 15, 2029. Dominora Veridia's strategic location and military prowess made it a valuable addition to IRMA, enhancing the alliance's defense capabilities and bolstering its influence in the international arena.
