Pax Centralis
The Pax Centralis is a supranational economic and military alliance founded in 157. It began as a free trade agreement between Liara and Tilia and has expanded to include Kota and Ercos.
Governance
The authority of Pax is divided into four offices: Diplomacy, Industry, Culture, and State. The heads of the offices are elected by delegates from member states every two years. Its law enforcement agency, the Pax Marshals Bureau, is part of the Office of State, but command is traditionally shared between the offices.
Since 433, an Oversight Council of 3 representatives from each member state supervise the application of Pax regulations.
Both the Liara Canal Authority and the International Pressure Regulation Organization are independent charter companies of Pax.
Since 400, the Cormorant Security Protocol authorizes Pax to request and command member military assets for defense and anti-piracy patrols. The Diplomacy and State offices jointly administer CSP operations.
