====Caphiria====
[[Caphiria]]'s participation in the Sarpedonian Economic Area (SEA) marks a significant stride towards economic integration within the Sarpedonian single market, or MERCOSARP. The SEA is a dynamic arrangement that involves the free movement of goods, capital, services, and people — a harmonious vision collectively known as the "four freedoms." This initiative is built on common rules and standards that participating states, including Caphiria, are legally committed to following.
In the realm of the movement of people, Caphiria plays a key role as part of the SEA, allowing for the freedom of movement for individuals across participating states. However, it's noteworthy that this is conducted with certain security measures, where security forces oversee border crossings to maintain a balance between facilitating movement and ensuring security. This approach safeguards the integrity of the economic area while addressing security concerns such as human traficking.
Furthermore, Caphiria's inclusion in the SEA creates a more integrated market, fostering enhanced economic cooperation between Caphiria, Cartadania, and Pelaxia. This integration facilitates smoother flows of goods and services, streamlining trade processes and contributing to the economic prosperity of the entire region. The collaboration under the SEA not only aligns with the principles of the Sarpedonian single market but also reflects the commitment of Caphiria to regional economic cohesion.
The decision to include Caphiria as a key economic partner in the union follows the successful precedent set by [[ARGUS]], emphasizing the importance of robust economic ties to strengthen the Sarpedonian Economic Area. This strategic collaboration underlines a shared commitment to mutual growth, stability, and prosperity, laying the foundation for a more interconnected and resilient Sarpedonian market.

==== Vallejar ====


The nature of the observer status for the Kingdom of [[Vallejar]] is centered on bilateral cooperation between the Union of Sarpedonian States and the kingdom in the areas of regional security, navigability of seas and trade routes, counter-terrorism, counter-narcotics, counter-human trafficking, and mutual military cooperation for defense, establishing fraternal ties between continents. Pelaxia, on behalf of UNESARP, proposed to Vallejar to become an observer of the association, with the benefits of security forces cooperation, sharing respective criminal databases, and permission to conduct various joint exercises and operations, among other military and security activities. This would allow for increased control in the Vallos region for Vallejar and the expansion of UNESARP, benefiting its member states. As of now, Vallejar has not developed a special agreement as an associate member in economic, tax, or human capital matters.

===== International Youth Professionalization Program =====
== Structure ==
This is a program aimed at addressing youth unemployment in Vallejar, established on October 10, 2033. Recognizing the issue and its implications for approximately 120,000 Vallejarian youths aged between 18 and 22, who lacked higher education and significant work experience, the government sought a solution. After negotiations with UNESARP, an international youth professionalization program between Vallejar and the union was agreed upon, starting from November 1, 2033. The program includes the following points:
 
1. Travel expenses from Vallejar to a destination in the union will be subsidized by the state, covering 70% of the costs, while the remaining 30% is the responsibility of the worker.


=== DEFESARP ===
2. The hosting state is responsible for the economic, physical, and legal security of the workers throughout their stay.
[[File:Cognati Division.JPG|thumb|Emblem of the Cognati Corps]]
The central principle holding DEFESARP is that an attack against one is to be considered an attack against both; this was known as the "Cognati defense" doctrine, and as a logical continuation of the ''Vila Real Accords''. The pact also includes cooperation on military training, advanced cyber, artificial intelligence and autonomy, quantum technologies, undersea capabilities, hypersonic and counter-hypersonic, electronic warfare, innovation and information sharing.


Under the pact Cartadania and Pelaxia have mutual access to joint naval bases in Maribel Island, Las Jusonias, Freda Island, Lotoa and Solemia, extending the reach of the alliance further away than just the Tainean and Kindred Sea. They also mantain a Joint Aerospace Traning center in Cartadania and the largest Joint Military Training Camp at "Complejo de los Ballesteros" in Pelaxia.
3. If a worker fails to perform adequately and is dismissed, if within a month from the termination date they haven't found new employment, the worker is liable for the return costs. If the worker's resources aren't sufficient to cover the full cost, the state will handle the remaining expense.


DEFESARP has obliged both militaries to integrate their early warning, awarnes and command structure under the DEFESARP Air Defence Command (ADC) and the Kindred and Tainean Sea Joint Naval Command (KTS-Joint Naval Command). DEFESARP holds yearly military command exercises for Pelaxia and Cartadania to have an opportunity to improve inter-organization cooperation, and has under its mandate created the Cognati Corps.
4. In cases of severe and repeated violation of the workers' security, the hosting state must provide compensation to the affected workers.
====Cognati Corps====
The Cognati Corps ({{lang-es|Cuerpo de Coñata}}; {{lang-cd|Corpo da Conhata}}) is a binational combined arms coprs consisting of units from the Cartadanian and Pelaxian militaries.The Corps a high-readiness force comprising land, air, sea and special forces units capable of being deployed quickly.


Rotating forces through the Cognati Corps requires both nations to meet the demanding standards needed for collective defence and expeditionary operations. As the standards are very high, participation in the Corps is preceded by a six-month DEFESARP exercise program in order to integrate and standardize the various contingents. Generally, units carry out a pre-training period in preparation for the DEFESARP exercises of between 6–18 months. Once activated, Reconnaissance Teams deploy within 5 days. This is the first of a number of deployment phases that lead to the deployment of the entire HQ Joint Task Force and CorpsForces within 30 days.
5. The maximum stay for a worker abroad is set at 5 years, with a possibility of extension to 7 years in exceptional cases of necessity or other reasonable grounds. After this period, workers are required to return to Vallejar, unless they have successfully applied for citizenship or residency in any UNESARP country.


'''The Corps currently comprises up to 60,000 troops and will be increased to over 100,000 troops. It includes units from several overseas territories.'''
6. If a worker has partially settled (e.g., with a complete family but without applying for citizenship or residency), Vallejar may subsidize up to 50% of the associated costs.


The Cognati Corps trains for various tasks, including:
== Economy ==
* providing immediate collective defence of UNESARP members in the event of military operation;
* crisis management;
* acting as the initial force deployment as a precursor to deployment of a much larger force;
* peace support;
* disaster relief;
* protection of critical infrastructure.

The customs union of the Union of Sarpedonian States removes customs barriers between member states and operates a common customs policy towards external countries, with the aim "to ensure normal conditions of competition and to remove all restrictions of a fiscal nature capable of hindering the free movement of goods within the Common Market". Aspects of the UNESARP Customs area extend to a number of non-EU-member states, such as Caphiria, under separately negotiated arrangements.

Article 30 of the Vila Real Accords prohibits border levies between member states on both European Union Customs Union produce and non-EUCU (third-country) produce. Under the Accords, customs duty applicable to third country products are levied at the point of entry into UNESARP, and once within the Union external border goods may circulate freely between member states. Under the operation of the Union, customs border controls between member states are maintained as part of security, counter-narcotics operations and counter-human trafficking activity. Some physical inspections on imports and exports have been replaced mainly by audit controls and risk analysis.

Broadly defined, this freedom enables citizens of one Member State to travel to another, to reside and to work there (permanently or temporarily). The idea behind UNESARP legislation in this field is that citizens from other member states should be treated equally to domestic citizens and should not be discriminated against.

====Foreign Liaison Corps====
[[File:FCL BADGE.png|thumb|Military badge of the Foreign Liaison Corps]]
The Foreign Liaison Corps is a unit of the Union of Sarpedonian States specially tasked to provide training and advice to foreign strategic partners thus it is an ad hoc force deployed abroad as the DEFESARP Command sees fit.
Units from the Cartadanian and Pelaxian armed forces may be deployed in FLC missions or be part of a specific DEFESARP. Most current FLC missions are being carried out within the [[Loa Republic]] in Vallos, [[Ceylonia]] in Crona and [[Varshan]] in Crona.
FLC advisors provide various types of training to foreign militaries, and police forces tailored to meet specific needs and objectives. Some common types of training include:
* Tactical Training: This involves instruction on military tactics, techniques, and procedures tailored to specific operational environments, such as urban warfare, counterinsurgency, or peacekeeping operations.
* Technical Training: advisors may provide technical training on the operation and maintenance of military equipment, including weapons systems, vehicles, communications systems, and other specialized equipment.
* Leadership and Command Training: this includes training programs to develop leadership skills among military officers and non-commissioned officers, focusing on command and control, decision-making, and crisis management.
* Professional Development: This type of training focuses on enhancing the professional skills and knowledge of military personnel in areas such as logistics, intelligence, medical support, and engineering.
* Cultural Awareness and Language Training: unique to the DEFESARP portfolio, advisors may provide cultural awareness training to help foreign militaries understand the cultural, social, and political dynamics of the regions in which they operate. Language training may also be offered to facilitate communication and cooperation with local populations.
* Overall, advisors work closely with partner forces to design and deliver training programs that address specific capability gaps and support the development of effective and professional military forces.
