The Union of States around the Sovereign Oceans (USSO) is a collective defence and cultural treaty organisation among Jingdaoese Empire, Craitland, Gerenia, Passio-Corum, Xang Muang and the Florian Republic. It has an estimated population of over 305 million (fictional) citizens and has land on almost each continent accross Micras. While originally a defence union, the focus and input from Passio-Corum swayed its members to establish and further integrate a common market between the members.
It had its roots in the Hammish Civil War, in which several of the founding states were shocked by the interference of the Shirerithians in the civil war. Soon after, the alliance also began cooperating on the economical, cultural and scientific level.
History
Origin
The USSO was born during a period of heightened tensions due to the ongoing Hammish Civil War. Jingdao, which had undergone a change of government and (limited) democratization after the death of the Sheng Emperor, sought to regain some influence on the world stage.
It found allies in nations including Gerenia and Xang Muang, who were eager to protect themselves against what was perceived imperialist aggression from other nations, Craitland, which offered humanitarian efforts for future situations, and Passio-Corum, which sought to protect its economic interests around the Sea of Storms. Having seen the aggressive use of atomic weapons ( Operation Tymarian Sun ) and Hamland pushed into a lengthy and cruel civil war had both shocked and angered public opinion, which demanded the atrocities to be stopped. Much of the blame was put on the interference by the larger (western) states, which sought to use the war to their benefit.

A shattered Union (April 2017)
The death of the Sheng Emperor and the rise of the Mingshi Emperor to active participation in politics fractured the attempts of the Union to counter the interference of SANE into Hamland. What had begun as indirect attempts (like blockades), soon became outright hostilities. On the 1st April, the Emperor - in a fit of madness - declared war upon Shireroth and its allies. This led to the outbreak of the War of Jingdaoese Immolation. In the meantime, Gerenia was blockaded by the Shirerithian Navy and was forced to declare itself neutral.
In attempt to save the strategic positions in Keltia, Passio-Corum invaded its ally and occupied its oversea territories. With the death of the Mingshi Emperor, those possessions were returned to Jingdao and relations restored.
Having survived the crisis, the members became convinced that a military alliance alone meant nothing. Several projects, including the Common Market, were launched.
First Union Summit (21 June - ... 2017)
In May 2017 plans were made to finance the creation of a flying Headquarters, which could travel from one member state to another. This immense project, which was both a prestige project as an attempt to make the Policon HQ less dependent from one member nation, received heavy funding from not only the states, but also the private sector. It was launched in the presence of Chairman Tuân Quân on the 21st June 2017, during the First Policon Summit.
Treaty
In June 2017 a meeting is planned to be held to strengthen certain aspects in cooperation between the nations, including free movement of citizenry between the nations and the establishment of common defence units.
