The '''Community of Goldfield''', also referred to as "the Community" or "the Goldfield Community", is a political and economic association of five member states, who all are members of the [[Raspur Pact]]. The main institutions of the Community are the [[Heads of State Council]], the [[Heads of Government Council]], the [[Trade and Commerce Harmonization Council]], the [[Sports and Cultural Council]], and the [[Foundation of the Community of Goldfield]].
The '''Community of Goldfield''' (the CG or the CoG) is an economic union of [[Raspur Pact]] member states with a shared commitment to economic integration and monetary coordination. They have all agreed to use the [[Natopian natopo]] as either a reserve currency or as legal tender and are deeply invested in maintaining close coordination among their central banks, economic, and finance ministries. The member states view this deep integration as a path to economic stability, mitigating the volatility of global markets and enabling robust, shared growth.


The creation of the Community dates back to early {{AN|1699}}, when [[Ransenar]] sought diplomatic and political partnerships within the [[Raspur Pact]] that extended beyond the [[Benacia|Benacian continent]] after the events of [[Second_Elwynnese_Civil_War#The_Scouring_.28XIV.1695.E2.80.93XV.1695.29|the Scouring]] and the [[Second Elwynnese Civil War]]. During its formal and informal diplomatic talks, [[Ransenar]] pursued greater political, economic, and technological cooperation from [[Natopia]], [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]], and other [[Raspur Pact]] trade partners. Initially, the community was built on the basic connecting cultures and political ties between the cultures of [[Natopia]], [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]], and [[Ransenar]]. From its cultural pursuits, the early efforts from cooperation in the Community led to the facilitation of renewals of television and radio programming licenses for its member nations' TV networks and agreements in intellectual property protection, and the creation of the [[Sports and Cultural Council]]. Many of these talks took place in the cities of [[Goldfield]], [[Ransenar]] and [[Fontainebleau]], [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]].
Each member of the Community has recognized the potential benefits of adopting the [[Natopian natopo]], enabling smoother transactions across borders, fostering a more integrated capital market, and potentially stabilizing their economies through the close coordination of monetary policy. Ideas have been circulated for the designation of the [[Natopian natopo]] as a common currency for the Community of Goldfield, but these have not yet progressed or been generally accepted.


In {{AN|1705}}, talks by [[Natopia|Natopian]], [[Ransenar|Ransenari]], and [[Nouvelle Alexandrie|New Alexandrian]] diplomats and government officials in [[Lindstrom]], [[Natopia]] bore fruit with the [[Goldfield Community Protocols of 1705]]. Further cooperation facilitated by the [[Goldfield Community Protocols of 1705|Protocols of 1705]] was further fueled as many of its member nations were involved in subduing the [[Great Vanic Revolt]], facing the [[Division of the Natopian Empire|division of Natopia]], and/or dealing with the [[Recession of 1709|recession of 1709]]. These protocols were replaced by the current [[Charter of Lindström]], which formally constituted the Community in {{AN|1712}}.
The main institutions of the Community are the [[Central Banks Coordination Council]], the [[Finance and Economic Harmonization Council]], and the [[Trade and Commerce Harmonization Council]], the [[Community of Goldfield Development Bank]], and the [[Foundation of the Community of Goldfield]].
 
The title of Head of the Community is currently held by XXXXXXXX (since XXXX). The Head of the Community holds the position for three AN years. The position of Head of the Community rotates around the heads of state of the member nations. The order of succession is set by the [[Charter of Lindström]], but may be revised by a two-thirds vote (2/3s) of the [[Heads of State Council]] or whenever a new member joins the Community.


Member states have no additional legal obligations to one another, as they are all already connected through their common membership in the [[Raspur Pact]]. Their membership in the Pact has facilitated the establishment of many close cultural, economic, political, and historical ties between them. The member nations also have significant populations of one another's citizens and their descendants, with the [[Alexandrian people|Alexandrian]], [[Ransenar|Ransenari]], and [[Wechu people|Wechua]] diasporas among the largest.

*Common threads:
The idea to create some sort of community around the wider use of the [[Natopian natopo]] as the main [[Raspur Pact]] common currency did not rise until the aftermath of the [[Kalirion Fracture]]. After the loss of most of its territory in [[Benacia]] and the ensuing upheaval, [[Shireroth]]'s currency, the [[Shirerithian erb]], tanked. The [[Shirerithian erb]] was the most important currency in the Pact prior to the [[Kalirion Fracture]], followed by the [[Natopian natopo]]. The crash of the erb led some nations in the [[Raspur Pact]] to turn to the safety of the stable [[Natopian natopo]] as the new main [[Raspur Pact]] reserve currency. During the following decades of change in [[Benacia]], the idea of truly advancing the [[Natopian natopo]] slowly grew until it took shape following the [[Second Elwynnese Civil War]], a transformative event that compelled the Kingdom of [[Ransenar]] to look "outwards" from [[Benacia]] and build closer ties with [[Natopia]] and [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]].
**Huge presence of Alexandrians in [[Natopia]] and [[Ransenar]];
 
**Cultural and religious relationships between [[Natopia]] and [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]] (Bovinism, Melusinianism, Church of Alexandria);
[[Ransenar]], rich in agricultural resources, found mutual economic benefits through its food exports to its new partners in [[Natopia]] and [[Alexandria]]. Simultaneously, a significant presence of [[Alexandria|Alexandrians]] in [[Natopia]] and [[Ransenar]] and the shared cultural and religious relationships between [[Natopia]] and [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]] ([[Bovinism]], [[Church of Caputia|Melusinianism]], [[Church of Alexandria]]) laid the groundwork for more intimate international relationships. These cultural and economic synergies extended to the sphere of policy, which led to greater cooperation in trade, intelligence, counterterrorism, and other areas serving to further unite the member states. This led in to the [[Community of Goldfield Protocols of 1705]], which established the initial economic frameworks between [[Natopia]], [[Ransenar]], [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]], [[Constancia]] and [[Normark]] and set up agreements to use the [[Natopian natopo]] as their principal reserve currency.  The Protocols also established greater links between the fiscal institutions of the member nations, helping connect their payment systems and facilitate trade.
**Cooperation in trade, intelligence, counterterrorism, and other policy matters;
 
**Coordination and harmonization of policies/positions within the [[Raspur Pact]];
The [[Natopian natopo]] entered a serious crisis during its [[Division of the Natopian Empire|1707 division into East and West]]. While both [[Western Natopia]] and [[Eastern Natopia]] retained the Natopian natopo and its central institutions, investors and business were concerned about the effects of the division. The ensuing [[Recession of 1709|recession of 1709]], fueled by the [[Division of the Natopian Empire|division of the Natopian Empire]], underscored to the nations in CoG the need to stabilize the [[Natopian natopo]] and further coordinate to mitigate the effects of the [[Recession of 1709|recession]]. With the desire for greater coordination and harmonization, the [[Charter of Lindström]] was signed by  [[Natopia]], [[Ransenar]], [[Nouvelle Alexandrie]], [[Constancia]] and [[Normark]] in {{AN|1710}}, creating the current Community. With [[Ransenar]] later becoming part of the [[Benacian Union]], the [[Benacian Union]] assumed [[Ransenar]]'s membership in the CG. The [[Suren Confederacy]] and [Zeed]] joined the CG in {{AN|1722}}.
**Economic dependence on exports and imports of the other - in particular, Ransenari food exports;
 
**[[Ransenar]] begins to look "outwards" from Benacia in the aftermath of the Second Elwynnese Civil War, and begin to build closer ties with Natopia and Nouvelle Alexandrie;
Greater coordination and harmonization of policies and positions within the [[Raspur Pact]] have been a key objective of the CG. The Pact, which already provided a platform for ongoing cooperation in various areas including the military, economic, and health sectors, represented a natural framework within which the CG could pursue its goals. As such, the Community operates under the Economic Cooperation Subcommission of the [[Raspur Pact]]. Key bodies facilitating this collaboration include the [[Raspur_Pact#Joint_Military_Council|Joint Military Council]], the [[Raspur_Pact#Economic_Cooperation_Subcommission|Economic Cooperation Subcommission]], and the [[Raspur_Pact#Health_Emergency_Subcommission|Health Emergency Subcommission]].
**Widespread use of the [[Natopian natopo|Natopian currency]] as a common currency among many of the member nations;

*Ongoing political, military, and diplomatic dialogue/coordination:

The Community of Goldfield (the CG or the CoG) is an economic union of Raspur Pact member states with a shared commitment to economic integration and monetary coordination. They have all agreed to use the Natopian natopo as either a reserve currency or as legal tender and are deeply invested in maintaining close coordination among their central banks, economic, and finance ministries. The member states view this deep integration as a path to economic stability, mitigating the volatility of global markets and enabling robust, shared growth.

Each member of the Community has recognized the potential benefits of adopting the Natopian natopo, enabling smoother transactions across borders, fostering a more integrated capital market, and potentially stabilizing their economies through the close coordination of monetary policy. Ideas have been circulated for the designation of the Natopian natopo as a common currency for the Community of Goldfield, but these have not yet progressed or been generally accepted.

The main institutions of the Community are the Central Banks Coordination Council, the Finance and Economic Harmonization Council, and the Trade and Commerce Harmonization Council, the Community of Goldfield Development Bank, and the Foundation of the Community of Goldfield.

Member states have no additional legal obligations to one another, as they are all already connected through their common membership in the Raspur Pact. Their membership in the Pact has facilitated the establishment of many close cultural, economic, political, and historical ties between them. The member nations also have significant populations of one another's citizens and their descendants, with the Alexandrian, Ransenari, and Wechua diasporas among the largest.

Background

The idea to create some sort of community around the wider use of the Natopian natopo as the main Raspur Pact common currency did not rise until the aftermath of the Kalirion Fracture. After the loss of most of its territory in Benacia and the ensuing upheaval, Shireroth's currency, the Shirerithian erb, tanked. The Shirerithian erb was the most important currency in the Pact prior to the Kalirion Fracture, followed by the Natopian natopo. The crash of the erb led some nations in the Raspur Pact to turn to the safety of the stable Natopian natopo as the new main Raspur Pact reserve currency. During the following decades of change in Benacia, the idea of truly advancing the Natopian natopo slowly grew until it took shape following the Second Elwynnese Civil War, a transformative event that compelled the Kingdom of Ransenar to look "outwards" from Benacia and build closer ties with Natopia and Nouvelle Alexandrie.

Ransenar, rich in agricultural resources, found mutual economic benefits through its food exports to its new partners in Natopia and Alexandria. Simultaneously, a significant presence of Alexandrians in Natopia and Ransenar and the shared cultural and religious relationships between Natopia and Nouvelle Alexandrie (Bovinism, Melusinianism, Church of Alexandria) laid the groundwork for more intimate international relationships. These cultural and economic synergies extended to the sphere of policy, which led to greater cooperation in trade, intelligence, counterterrorism, and other areas serving to further unite the member states. This led in to the Community of Goldfield Protocols of 1705, which established the initial economic frameworks between Natopia, Ransenar, Nouvelle Alexandrie, Constancia and Normark and set up agreements to use the Natopian natopo as their principal reserve currency. The Protocols also established greater links between the fiscal institutions of the member nations, helping connect their payment systems and facilitate trade.

The Natopian natopo entered a serious crisis during its 1707 division into East and West. While both Western Natopia and Eastern Natopia retained the Natopian natopo and its central institutions, investors and business were concerned about the effects of the division. The ensuing recession of 1709, fueled by the division of the Natopian Empire, underscored to the nations in CoG the need to stabilize the Natopian natopo and further coordinate to mitigate the effects of the recession. With the desire for greater coordination and harmonization, the Charter of Lindström was signed by Natopia, Ransenar, Nouvelle Alexandrie, Constancia and Normark in 1710 AN, creating the current Community. With Ransenar later becoming part of the Benacian Union, the Benacian Union assumed Ransenar's membership in the CG. The Suren Confederacy and [Zeed]] joined the CG in 1722 AN.

Greater coordination and harmonization of policies and positions within the Raspur Pact have been a key objective of the CG. The Pact, which already provided a platform for ongoing cooperation in various areas including the military, economic, and health sectors, represented a natural framework within which the CG could pursue its goals. As such, the Community operates under the Economic Cooperation Subcommission of the Raspur Pact. Key bodies facilitating this collaboration include the Joint Military Council, the Economic Cooperation Subcommission, and the Health Emergency Subcommission.

In 1722 AN, the Community of Goldfield Development Bank was created to stimulate sustainable development and regional integration by financing projects in the public and private sectors in member states, providing technical cooperation, and other specialized services.

Charter of Lindström

Main article: Charter of Lindström

The Charter of Lindström represents the formal agreement that led to the constitution of the Community of Goldfield. It built upon the previous Goldfield Community Protocols of 1705 and has been the guiding framework of the Community since 1710 AN.

Goldfield Aviation Alliance

Beginning in 1716 AN, and taking place under the aegis of the Trade and Commerce Harmonization Council, the Community initiated a concerted push to increase the proportion of total trade between member-states that would be carried by commercial aviation. With the threats of both the former-USSO and Bassarid piracy receding during the early eighteenth century after Norton the seasonal sailings of SATCo-controlled trade fleets could be supplemented by more timely movements of passengers and cargo by commercial aircraft. To this end, the Honourable Company was incentivised by member-states to offer loans on generous terms to airlines and logistics firms willing to countenance bulk purchases of the Javelin Sojourner airliner.
