Tri-Nation Treaty Alliance System
The Tri-Nation Treaty Alliance System (TTAS) began as the diplomatic response to the scarcity and desperation caused by The First Great Draconian War. Far from dissolving after the founding of the Confederacy, the TTAS expanded its framework, establishing the definitive economic structure of modern Draconia.
Structure
| Aspect | Detail | Significance in Governance |
|---|---|---|
| Legal Status | A permanent framework of treaties. Not a sovereign political body or government. | Preserves the autonomy of the three member nations (Talle, Sirine, Elysium) while binding them to economic stability agreements. |
| Governing Body | Non-existent. Governed by unanimous consent of the Permanent Coordinating Mission (PCM). | Ensures the TTAS remains purely an economic coordination system, avoiding political overreach or dual legislative sovereignty. |
| Administration (PCM) | Consists of one Ambassador and staff assigned by each High Contracting Party. | Administration is direct, self-contained, and relies wholly on the participating sovereign states. |
| Core Mechanism | The Generative Assistance Bond (GAB) System. | Functions as the "safety valve" to prevent resource scarcity, using guaranteed bonds to incentivize low-risk aid and eliminate the economic trigger for global conflict. |
| Headquarters | Facilities are provided, individually or jointly, by the High Contracting Parties for the PCM's centralized working location. | Relies on member-state cooperation for physical resources; later, the Draconic Confederacy grants it space at the HQ. |
| Conflict Resolution | Impasse is referred to the highest judicial authority of the Supreme Republic of Talle for binding arbitration, with all parties waiving sovereign immunity. | Provides a defined, impartial, and immediate legal mechanism to resolve deadlocks, relying on the anchor nation's rule of law. |
Public Agenda
Economic Stabilization and Currency Standards
The TTAS's greatest achievement is the imposition of a universal, stable economic framework:International Currency Standard: The System established an international standard of currency adopted by every nation in Draconia. This provides a universally accepted basis for all international trade and finance.
Sovereign Coinage: While the standard is universal, nations retain the right to mint their own versions of the coinage, featuring national symbols and iconography. This respects national sovereignty while enforcing economic unity.
Universal Acceptance: The coinage is universally accepted, regardless of its nation-specific design, ensuring seamless trade across political borders.
The Resource and Bond System (The Safety Valve)
The original mechanism for ending the War of Scarcity remains operational:Low-Cost Aid: The TTAS continues to accept low-cost bonds from struggling nations in exchange for critical resources. This ensures that no nation descends into desperation that would trigger internal collapse or external aggression.
Guaranteed Investment: A bond is issued to a specific member nation (the provider of the resources), but the investment is guaranteed by the other two nations in the system. This risk-sharing ensures that the resource-providing nation's investment remains safe and incentivizes continuous aid, maintaining the safety valve against scarcity.
