Dunic Ocean Treaty Organization

The Dunic Ocean Treaty Organization (DOTO; Anglyngo: Vertradorganisa de See Dúnic; Sakaian: ; Hyojin: Tokai Joyakutan) is an intergovernmental trade partnership between nations bordering the Dunic Ocean, steered by the governments of Sakaro, Dunica and Hyokoku.

Its founding mission is to maintain a neutral zone spanning the Dunic Ocean and protecting trans-Dunic trade from future conflicts after the events of the Great War. While originally an institution solely focused on peace, the DOTO is now often regarded as an arm employed by Sakaro and Dunica to achieve shared commercial and geopolitical aims.

History
The Dunic Ocean Treaty was ratified in 1942, a year after the Great War, in an effort to prevent future conflict from interfering with trans-Dunic trade. The governments of Sakaro, Dunica and Hyokoku, all neutral during the war, shared a desire to cement this neutrality in a diplomatic bloc stretching across the Dunic Ocean. While little more than a formality at its onset, the DOTO created a valuable platform for member states to engage in matters of international diplomacy and trade.

As tensions rose between the great powers of Ke-Atsung and Almeria, DOTO took on a new and more forceful character. As Sakaian, Dunican, and Hyojin officials met more frequently, they amended the Treaty and expanded the DOTO to allow more members to join, evolving the organisation into a key geopolitical tool for sustaining a peaceful barrier between Balteca and East Artopa.
