The '''Nysdra Sea Treaty Association''' ('''NSTA'''), is an intergovernmental organization between three [[Levantia|Levantine]] and [[Crona|Cronite]] nations as well as two [[international charter cities]].

The organization implements the Nysdra Sea Treaty that was signed on 5 November 2016. NSTA constitutes a system of collective security whereby its independent member states agree to mutual defense in response to an attack by any external party. The Treaty also consists of trade agreements, requiring that all signatories refuse to import goods into the "Inner Crona" region - defined as the Nysdra Sea basin - from non-signatory powers. NSTA, consequently, serves as both a mutual defense agreement and a restricted trade area. The organization is headquartered in Port St. Charles in [[New Yustona]]. | ||

During the [[South Nysdra War]], [[Urcea]] eventually intervened on behalf of the "Legitimist" faction of Telucti Cheveyo, who emerged as King Telucti I of Quetzenkel following his victory. The War had been ongoing for nearly two years and the lack of diplomatic cooperation between the Cronites and Levantines lead to the emergence of the [[Sons of Levantia]], who [[Urcea]] defeated prior to its full intervention. The new King of Quetzenkel and the [[Government of Urcea]] sought to formalize their alliance forged during the conflict, and negotiations began on the Nysdra Sea Treaty. The initial aim behind the treaty was to establish a formal diplomatic system for relations between states in northwestern Crona, and to additionally create a favorable economic climate for the development of industry and self-reliance in the northwestern part of [[Crona]]. Urcea and Quetzenkel, along with Urcea's union partner [[New Yustona]], formally agreed to the treaty on 5 November | During the [[South Nysdra War]], [[Urcea]] eventually intervened on behalf of the "Legitimist" faction of Telucti Cheveyo, who emerged as King Telucti I of Quetzenkel following his victory.

The Nysdra Sea Treaty provides for "participating observers", nations and territories which are a party to the collective defense provisions under the treaty but are not obliged to participate in collective defense. This was written to provide that [[Urcea]] and its allies would be responsible for the protection of [[Shenendehowa Bay]] and, to a lesser extent, [[Xisheng]], while [[Caphiria]] and [[Corumm]] would not be drawn into a war to protect Urcea's allies in the region. The participating observer status obligates its signatories to take part in the economic and trade restrictions established by the treaty. Participating observers are allowed to import goods from specific non-signatory members - namely Caphiria and Corumm - but provides that purchases of these goods can only be fulfilled and delivered to the signatory party. This functionally means that Caphirian and Corummese firms can do business in the Nysdra region but primarily through intermediaries in Shenendehowa Bay and Xisheng, respectively. | |||
