An Introduction by the Founder
The Fegosian Union is a co-operative alliance between nations across the world, signed to the betterment of all the nations involved. Since 2007, member nations have signed agreements ranging from a mutual emergency aid fund for Union Members, to the establishment of a Trading Commission for the regulation of trading throughout member nations, to the founding of a joint Rapid Reaction Force to respond to crises both within and outside the Union. All member nations have benefited from the agreements signed within, working together to increase the prosperity and power of all.
Presently consisting of a handful of powerful, influential nations, the Union is seeking to expand its influence outside its current members, to whoever is willing to reap the benefits of membership to the alliance. All nations, both young and old, will be reviewed with equality for membership.
First, I ask of you to read the following agreements currently in effect within the Union, so that you can fully make up your mind as to whether you wish to become a member of a prestigious and internationally recognised alliance.
