Onse Naval Alliance Treaty

The Onse Naval Alliance Treaty, also called ONAT, is an naval  and  between 3 member states – Ecoralia, Galvia, and Renesia. Established in the aftermath of World War III, the organization implemented the Onse Bay Treaty, signed in Renes, Renesia, on 18 October 1959. ONAT is a collective security, economy, and diplomacy system, where its independent member states agree to defend their territorial waters in the Onse Bay, as well as all military, cargo and civil vessels from all three countries. During its very beginnings, following the global effects of the WWIII, the ONAT operated primarily as a mechanism to help reinvigorate its member states’ post-war economies, by lowering and increasing  of its citizens.

ONAT’s headquarters are a reflection of the Onse Bay Treaty’s main objectives: defense, movement, and economy. The organization’s financial headquarters are located in Koningspont, Ecoralia; its military headquarters are located in Kaudze, Galvia; and the cargo and shipping headquarters are located in Erberg, Renesia. The combined navies of all three members include around 850,000 soldiers and personnel. Their combined naval spending as of 2022 stands at a total of around Ꝟ60.5 billion, proportionally distributed among its members, who have all agreed to maintain a target defense spending of at least 2% of their. The total GDP accumulated between the three nations is Ꝟ3.025 trillion.

ONAT’s original three member founding members are, and have always been, the only signatories in the organization, most recently, discussions have been held during annual summits regarding the possible invitation of other eastern Alutran states, such as Edury and Gladomyr, into the treaty as for economic purposes, however, these discussions are confirmed to not have taken place outside of the ONAT. Enlargement in both economic prosperity, as well as a military presence in the Onse Bay’s waters has led to tensions with non-member state Velorenkya.

History
World war three left East Alutra in an economic shamble and Ecoralia the de facto protector of Onse bay have neglected it after being part of two consecutive world wars. To remedy these issues, Renesia, Galvia and Ecoralia joined hands in protecting Onse bay and expediting the economical recovery from the war.

Main points
The treaty was drafted and ratified by all member nations after the fifth round of talks on the 18th of October 1959 in Renes. ONAT can be split into two main sections, Military related and Economy related.

Military
To better protect the peace and prosperity of Onse bay Ecoralia, Galvia and Renesia will create a joint naval force formed by voluntary military personnel under the Admiralty Council. The Admiralty Council is made up of two Vice admirals or Rear admirals from each nation, the leader of the Admiralty Council is led by the High admiral. The High admiral is a rotative position in the Admiralty Council, each High admiral has a 3 years term and must pass through 5 other admirals before being eligible to become High admiral again.

To ensure fair management and maintenance of the joint naval force each member nation will contribute equally to the joint naval force, which the Admiralty Council will manage and use as they deem fit. Furthermore, to ensure further cooperation and reduce miscommunications a joint naval training and a yearly joint naval exercise will be established and managed by the Admiralty Council.

Economy
To ensure long-term economic growth and sustainability Ecoralia, Galvia and Renesia will create the Finance Commission and the Economic Integration Commission as subordinate to the Admiralty Council. Moreover, member nations will remove all trade barriers between themselves to encourage trade, although, members still hold the right to ban products from entering their borders. Members nations will allow each other's citizens to move freely and without hindrance. All member nations' citizens have fishing rights in member nations' waters.

The Finance Commission (ONATFC) will manage budget and investment in order to encourage economic growth in member nations. ONATFC will have a portion of the Admiralty Council's budget to invest in projects in member nations whilst also assisting in managing the Admiralty Council budget, all projects that are fully funded by ONATFC will have 50% ownership by ONAT and 50% by the host nation.

The Economic Integration Commission (ONATEIC) will manage infrastructure and transnational transportation between member nations to efficiently and effectively move goods, ideas and people between them. Moreover, ONATEIC will encourage and establish facilities to lower the language barrier by creating centres to learn Ecoral, Galvian and Renesian.

Admiralty council
The Admiralty Council is the main body for ONAT and is based in Kaudze. The Admiralty Council manages, maintains and trains a combined multinational navy that promotes peace and protects the Onse bay and member nations from any naval incursions. The ONATFC and ONATEIC act as a subordinate to the Admiralty Council but retain a high degree of autonomy to achieve their objectives. The current High Admiral is Indriķis Lagzdiņš.

Legal authority of ONAT admirals
Since ONAT navy comprises three different nations, the admirals were given full authority to punish any offences according to either the admiral's military law or the offender's military law. Although there have been situations where two national military laws oppose each other which the Admiralty Council require to resolve per case based on Onse Unified Naval Code (OUNC). The Admiralty council also uses Kirriktik Conventions as a guideline alongside OUNC to establish a better and fair judgment.

Finance commission
ONATFC headquarters is located in Koningspont, the goal of ONATFC is to improve the economic growth of member nations by investing in various projects such as small business and governmental projects. These investments also act as a secondary source of income for ONATFC to reinvest them again into the economy.

Economic integration commission
ONATEIC is based in Erberg and aims to improve transportation infrastructure across member nations including highways, harbours and airports. ONATEIC created the Central Alutran Transportation (CAT) initiative which is a series of projects to make member nations more interconnected. Moreover, ONATEIC assists member nations with establishing similar rules and regulations between them to avoid and encourage trade. The current head of Economic integration is Gottfried Aerssens.
