Slavic Alliance

The Slavic Alliance, also referred to as the Slavic Union, is a military alliance between the Tecrian Empire, Voplana Empire, Balka Empire, Principality of Duscany and the Theme of Vjekograd.

Essentially, it is a formal agreement that acts as a pact of non-aggression between member states.

The alliance also encourages member states to provide aid to other member states during times of war, though it is acknowledged that this may not always be possible.

The alliance is only accepting of Slavic nations, and other Ethno-linguistic groups are not permitted to join.

History:

The Slavic Alliance was founded in 902, by Balka tribes who wished to band together to establish the Kingdom of Balka. When the Kingdom of Balka was established in 924, the alliance was disbanded as it was viewed unnecessary by Balkan nobles.

The alliance was restored in 1000, with the establishment of the Voplanan and Tecrian Kingdoms, which subsequently joined the alliance.

In 1156, Tecrian and Balkan expeditions took place in the Dark Lands, which lead to contact with the Proto-Slavic Principality of Duscany and Theme of Vjekograd. These nations joined in the same year.

Organisation:

The Slavic Alliance is democratically governed by the Slavic Council, which is comprised of the Royal family of each of the member states. When a decision is to be made, the head of each family, representative of their nation makes a vote. If a majority vote can not be made, other families of upper nobility in the member states may be included in the voting process.
