Dunic Ocean Treaty Organization

The Dunic Ocean Treaty Organization (DOTO; Anglyngo: Vertradorganisa de See Dúnic; Sakaian: Nuki'wa Oana Kui'kahi Hui; 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 its core members 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.

Structure
The DOTO meets yearly in Toitara. The Dunic Ocean Council sets the agenda through a simple two-third majority vote. This usually limits itself to disputes over shipping, tariffs, fishing, and maritime borders.

Dunic Ocean Council
The Dunic Ocean Council (Anglyngo: Consilo de See Dúnic; Sakaian: Nuki'wa Oana Ahakuka; Hyojin: Tokai Kaigi) is the principal political decision making body of the Dunic Ocean Treaty Organization. The Council is made up of a single ambassador from each of the organization's member states, and decisions are made through a simple majority vote. The council is led by the Secretary General, who is appointed by a majority consensus among the member states. Observer states are allowed to attend and speak at sessions of the Council, but cannot vote.

Collective Security Commission
The Collective Security Commission (Anglyngo: Comisión de Veila Collectivo; Sakaian: Okuha Palekana Komisina; Hyojin: Katamari Anzenkaigi) is an international military command body comprising of the ranking admirals and defense ministers of the Dunic Ocean Treaty Organization's member states. The commission is responsible for coordinating maritime security operations and maintaining consistent dialogue between the militaries of all DOTO members, and is also an informal forum where intelligence agencies can share information.
