Its members consist of varying backgrounds, such as politicians and businesses men. ITAG was created in 1979 after the third world war by Hermine Lohrenz, Gotthard Borchardt, Sigi Walther and Ina Achim, it was initially an invite-only Organization, but in 2000 it was open to all. Anyone can apply for membership, and based on membership type, a yearly can be paid as low as RMK 2,500 and as high as RMK 4,600,000. Each type of membership has different types of benefits, such as higher discount rates in participating stores and an easier visa process. Membership is open to all nationalities.

As the organisation’s main aim is to bring the world together through trade, it attempts to encourage countries to create a trade agreement with each other, lower other trade barriers, and make considerable investments in infrastructure to facilitate and encourage trade. Some nations welcome the involvement of ITAG, while others find them too invasive. ITAG also offer services to members and non-members, such as international insurance and travel schemes. ITAG helped create several industry standards to help reduce overall costs and encourage trade. However, ITAG has attempted to unify electric and energy standards globally to 160v and 60Hz but has not seen any success.

ITAG makes profits from many sources, including the stock exchange, foreign currency exchange, renting warehouses, membership fees, insurance, consultation services, market analysis and investments, among other things. ITAG has 101 branches and operates worldwide; ITAG services are available in 10 languages, including Renesian and Interspeech.

History
After the Third World War, economic activity in northeast Alutra slowed down significantly, which led to various recessions, to alleviate the recession, influential politicians and entrepreneurs from Renesia created the North Alutran Business Group (NABG) in 1979. NABG made deals with various businesses and governments and encouraged more free-market policies and trade in Alutra. In 2000, NABG officially change its name to ITAG and made membership open to all.

Membership
Pre-2000 membership was invitation only and required a single fee to be paid to finalise membership. However, in 2000 and onwards, it became a yearly subscription-based membership with multiple tiers and benefits for both individuals and companies alike. ITAG reserves the right to revoke the membership at any time and give no recompensation if the individual or company broke one of its terms of service or "acted in bad faith".

There are ten tiers an individual can subscribe to, ranging from 1 to 10, with each higher tier costing more and having more benefits. Meanwhile, companies have only five tiers they can subscribe to, with the cost being a mixture of obligations to ITAG and its members and a small percentage of their yearly profits.
