The Levantine Union's immediate precursor, the "Istroya Pact", was a common market, open borders, and mutual defense agreement signed in 1935 between Urcea and Burgundie in the wake of the functional end of the Holy Levantine Empire. With the end of the Empire's institutions, the various Levantine states that comprised it suddenly found themselves with closed borders, tariffs, and independent economies. The Pact was intended to last the duration of the Great War in order to link the two nations and economies together during the crisis and was not intended to be a permanent institution, but due to the duration of the war it existed for nearly two decades. At the end of the war, Urcea and Burgundie replaced the Istroya Pact with the Levantine Union Treaty, signed on June 1st, 1954, joined by the rebuilding and reorganizing Deric States and by Roseney, a crown commonwealth of Urcea. This treaty strengthened the already close union between the states. On January 1st, 1955, Kuhlfros joined the Union. Yonderre was later admitted to the union, being the sole member who was not a member of the Holy Levantine Empire at any point. | The Levantine Union's immediate precursor, the "Istroya Pact", was a common market, open borders, and mutual defense agreement signed in 1935 between Urcea and Burgundie in the wake of the functional end of the Holy Levantine Empire.
