Integration of the Suren Confederacy
The Integration of the Suren Confederacy, also known as the Constancian Annexation of Suren, or Vištāspan Triumph, was initiated by an offer of Dāryuš Vištāspa of the Suren, Surenšāh of the Suren Confederacy on 25.XV.1739.
Background
An intimate end-of-year social dinner at the Palace at Nivardom, with the Basilinna Esmeralda al-Osman, Autokrator of Constancia Prince Iñigo, Imperial Senator and Hierophant of the World Humanist Movement Felipe de Almagro, and former King of Normark Fredrik Michael Tarjeisson was the setting for what would eventually be known as a Euran political earthquake.
At that dinner, during dessert, Surenšāh Dāryuš Vištāspa offered the suzerainty of the Suren Confederacy, and his obeisance, and that of his line and House, to Basilinna Esmeralda al-Osman, her legitimate heirs and successors.
Reasons ostensibly given were to secure the legitimate Surenid succession, permanently quiet the Surenid Civil War, and for the Surenšāh to be rid of the minutiae of foreign affairs, fiscal responsibility, internecine rivalry, and good (if not better) governance.
Once the offering was determined to be legitimate, a written undertaking was signed and witnessed, resulting in a series of negotiations that occurred between the Imperial State of Constancia and the Suren Confederacy for the rest of 1740.
Negotiations
Initial negotiations began with an exchange of notes verbale the first week of 1740, accompanied by a joint conference of the Euran Economic Union and and Committee of Euran Salvation at the EuraTower, Tapfer Plaza, Aqaba.
That initial meeting resulted in the creation of a Central Euran Coordination and Cooperation Committee, a subordinate organ of the two entities, to discuss the timeline and further details of the new arrangement, henceforth referred to as an "integration" in lieu of the choices, "consolidation" and "annexation". The CECCC was ordained to meet bimonthly to expedite efforts and smooth out any issues.
In the meantime, subcommittees for military, finance and economics, infrastructure, and law were convened and began meeting weekly.
Participants
The Central Euran Coordination and Cooperation Committee is composed of the following:
Esmeralda al-Osman, Basileusa of Constancia, Chief of Staff for Trans-Euran Command, Presidency of the Committee of Euran Salvation- Prince Iñigo, Autokrator of Constancia, Deputy Commander, Trans-Euran Command

- Survey, titling, and valuation of Suren land
- Settling the status of the Trucial Isles
- Securing against the Northeast Suren insurgency
Final offer
Subsequent events
A command conference of Trans-Euran Command and joint session of the Committee of Euran Salvation was convened on 14.IV.1740 at Fort Basileus Petros, to discuss consolidation and further determination of the formation and future of the 509th (Surenid) Army.
The day after that, the Standing Committee of the Imperial Synkletos was convened to meet, to be briefed, and advised that a constitutional amendment would be offered this 1740, in order to constitutionally incorporate the lands of the Suren Confederacy into the Imperial State of Constancia.
Similarly, the Rusjar Negotiations were held to determine the then-unclear status of Beihagh, which was formerly held in condominium between Suren and the Imperial Federation. These negotiations resulted in the comprehensive Beihagh Treaty between Constancia and the Imperial Federation.
Integration was deemed official on the centennial birthday of Basilinna Esmeralda al-Osman in 1742.
