Belfast Alliance

The Belfast Alliance was an alliance between the nations of Directus, Took, and Aurelia established shortly prior to the Osean Continental War by the Treaty of Belfast. The treaty established several commerce initiatives as well as a mutual defense clause. In many ways the organization, though short lived, was the first of it's kind. Previously, alliances were purely military and generally would either last for a well defined period, such as the length of a war, or a simple mutual defense treaty. Thus, a treaty with mutual trade clauses was ground breaking and would influence later international organizations such as the Osean League or the Osean Federation.
