Pan-Indian Trade Confederacy

The Pan-Indian Trade Confederacy is a supranational political union between most nation states on the planet Priyanka. It was formed out of a group of trade agreements that were signed in periods from 2871 and 2883. Primarily a corporate union, the confederacy has no direct influence on security policies, but are reliant on the willingness of the integrated nations. It has a economically driven senate, embodying the legal rights of their employees as well as their corporative interests.

With a center in the official planet capital of Priyanka, the Trade Confederacy has provided its nations with effective and wide-ranging countermeasures against national conflicts, planetary threats and the post-Scream economic crisis.

History
Originally an international trade agreement limited to a single continent, it was only introduced as a possible universal policy as an answer to the pervasive national interdependency that redeveloped during the 2800s. As an answer to a global water shortage, the Pan-Indian Trade Confederacy was formed with help from a passing Scavenger Fleet and through the mediation of Silverlight Zaibatsu. This solution helped provide the planet with enough technological advancement to return to a spacefaring level, and thereby alleviate the problems of isolation and overpopulation.

The trade agreements did not recieve its own political and administrative organ until 2911, when trade conflicts demanded a solution to maintain cooperation betweent the nations. It helped provide the Confederacy with enough active power to be politically effective, yet have constantly been under criticism for its limitations on its democratic regions, as it only represents the people through their corporate connections. Most of this criticism comes from the states still not considered integrated into the union.
