The Cronan Commonwealth Development Organization (CCDO) is an international organization that was founded on 15 June 2031 for the purposes of cooperation between democratic (also called commonwealth) countries in central and northern Crona, and to prevent democratic backsliding in new democracies after the end of the Deluge. The CCDO has 18 members, most of whom are independent states. Many states within the CCDO are associated diplomatically with Urcea or Alstin to various degrees.

Goals and purpose
The CCDO charter provides for its overarching purpose in its preamble:
The Organization, comprised of those nations in Crona who embrace commonwealth values and believe in the basic dignity of the human person, will actively work to protect those cherished values within its membership. The Organization will also enhance relations between nations and peoples who share those values.
History
The Deluge
The Deluge brought about a diplomatic and geopolitical revolution in northern Crona and Cusinaut, creating many new nation-states and destroying Varshan, the continent's traditional superpower. This complete realignment established Urcea, Alstin, Daxia, and Kiravia as the new major powers in northern Crona, and pit Urcea and Alstin against one another as rivals during the 2020s due to various differences. However, the end of the Deluge and gradual scale-down of interventions by both powers, together with shared interests in the ongoing occupation of Varshan, gradually began to warm relations between the two powers. Both countries were aligned in some respects with Arcerion, which served as an intermediary between both powers.
Democratic pivot
The peace having been established in Crona by 2030, Urcea and Alstin began to mutually explore a new organization which would work to improve relations between them as well as their various dependencies, allies, and protectorates in Crona. Policymakers in Urceopolis began to publicly emphasize those things that NSTA members shared with Alstin and its allies in central Crona. With the involvement of Arcerion, negotiations began to form the CCDO in late 2030. Later in the discussions, outside nations such as Tierrador and New Archduchy were invited to participate. In mid-2031, Cartadania and Ceylonia joined.
Structure
Specialized agencies
Institutional Development Coordination Office
the Institutional Development Coordination Office (IDCO) is a body within the CCDO responsible for gathering information, issuing best practices, and facilitating communications between governmental bodies that are furthering institutional development in Crona. These responsibilities include the efforts of Urcea, Cartadania, and Alstin within League-occupied Varshan. Accordingly, IDCO has served as the primary intermediary between Urcea and Alstin for creation of substantially similar social, economic, and cultural redevelopment in Varshan. Due to the religious differences between the various members of CCDO, the IDCO officially has no position on efforts to propagate certain religions within Crona, and are instead purely focused on coordinating member efforts to foster open democratic and economic institutions within developing parts of Crona.
Two of the major bodies working with IDCO are present in the Urcean segment of occupied Varshan as well as in the many CCDO member states who are also members of NSTA - the Urcean Agency for Cronan Economic Development (ACED) and Department of National and Institutional Development (DNID).
