TORAS

The Treaty Organization of Royal African States (TORAS), also called the Royal Entente in some circles, is an intergovernmental military alliance between 5 African countries. The organization implements the Nile Treaty that was signed on 7 Feb 1964.

TORAS constitutes a system of collective security, whereby its independent member states agree to mutual defense in response to an attack by any external party. The TORAS headquarters are located in Wakanda, Yohannia, while the headquarters of Allied Command Operations is near Wau, Nilotia.

Since its founding, the admission of new member states has increased the alliance from the original 2 countries to 6, until the collapse of the Central African Empire in 1996 and its ensuing civil war ejected it from the TORAS after several years of failed attempts by other TORAS members to restabilize the CAE.

=History= On 14 December 1960 King Roderiq I orders the mobilization of his Imperial Guard and offers them up to Emperor of Haile Selassie of Ethiopia should he require them to take back his throne due to an ongoing coup attempt. The next day King Alekanaros of Zerzura mobilizes troops in preparation for intervention in Ethiopia. While ultimately there was no intervention needed by Yohannia or Zerzura, this move by Yohannia and Zerzura is seen as one of the seminal events that lead to the creation of the TORAS a few years later. With King Roderiq and King Aleksanaros signing the Anvil accords.

The Anvil Accords was largely dormant until the War of Unrelenting Egos Between Yohannia and Atlantis largely forced the Yohannian Government to seek allies abroad knowing it couldn't keep going against other Great powers alone, led to the official formation of TORAS with Yohannia and Zerzura as Founding Members. On 2 February 1973 The Empire of Ethiopia joined the TORAS as an official member.

One of the biggest tests for the fledgling Alliance was the sudden uprising in Imperial Ethiopia. Yohannia was determined to keep the fledgling alliance alive and sent over 100,000 troops into Ethiopia to recapture the territory as the Warsaw Pact supplied arms and trained the Communist Rebels. War of the Crown and Sickle as it came to be called and its aftermath, dictated TORAS policy of active engagement for the decades to come.

On 27 May 1975, the Kingdom of Nilotia joined the TORAS as an official member after negotiating in its admission that the current crisis in Ethiopia is not their immediate problem.

On 30 October 1979, the Central African Empire Joins the TORAS as an official member and is seen by historians as a source of continuous problems during its time as a member state. From exacerbating the Cameroon Chadian Drought, by building Das near Maikouma and Markounda, preventing water from going into the Chad lake in the 80s dragging TORAS into fierce negotiations with Emperor Bokassa to stop hoarding the water and fill the dam as slow as possible to alleviate the Cameroon Drought. In 1994, following blistering rhetoric from Emperor Bokassa the Remaining Members informally began to distance themselves from the Central African Empire and began looking towards solving Ethiopia's north-south divide.

In 1984 TORAS and FORJ held several joint meetings over the possibility of unifying their alliances before breaking down over who would be in charge of such a merged alliance, Ujjamun Nalangqu is said to be willing to return at a later time to try again.

On 3 June 1992, the Kingdom of Morroco joined the TORAS as an official member. After over a year of negotiating, along with the collapse of the Peoples Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and the reintegration of a majority of its provinces and some on the coast into the Ethiopian Empire. Morroco was finally able to gain a place in the sun without having to fear NATO repercussions should they not toe the line. Its primary task along with Ethiopia is the Production of Naval Vessels in lew of soldiers on the ground.

With the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union, one of the main adversaries of TORAS, has made relations with NATO and ADPA members tense on the continent.

A day later, in response to the DERG coup and announcement the Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie, smuggles a message out of Ethiopia, asking Yohannia and Zerzura for their backing in retaking the throne in Ethiopia.

24 Sept 1974, Crown Prince Asfa Wossen of Ethiopia lands in Yohannia after being deemed well enough to fly and is brought up to speed on Selassie's status. Two days later, 9 Yohannian Agents manage to extract Emperor Selassie from Ethiopia. Once the Royal Family of Ethiopia was safely in Yohannia they were all relocated to The Yohannian Imperial Palace. On 28 Sept, Yohannian King Roderiq, Prince Daryl, Zerzuran King Aleksanaros Ethiopian Emperor Selassie, and Prince Wossenis discuss actions to be taken, Roderiq Offers up the Yohannian Military but that they must act quickly before public sentiment turns against the idea.

War of the Crown and Sickle

=Membership= TORAS had 6 members of those only 5 members remain, all located on the African Continent. During the original treaty negotiations, the Kingdom of Yohannia insisted that all nations in this alliance be limited to those of Royalty severely limiting the size and scope of the Alliance. Two of these Five are original members who joined in 1964, Where Yohannia and Zerzura while the other three Ethiopia, Nilotia, and the Central African Empire joined over the course of the Cold War. While Morroco Joined after the Coldwar in 1992, while the Central African Empire collapsed ejected it from the alliance after 10 years of trying to keep the place together.

Enlargement
Ethiopia joined the Alliance on 3 March 1973 after securing a beneficial agreement to industrialize Ethiopia. The sudden economic woes of Ethiopia plunged the fledgling alliance into a war involving warsaw-backed forces. Leading to the civil war to be called The War of the Crown and Sickle a brutal 4-year campaign that split the country into northern and southern halves until 1992 when almost all the provinces.

Nilotia Joined Toras on 21 May 1975 as the Ethiopian Civil war was raging and fearing Sudanese retaliation joined up on the single condition that they do not have to directly get involved in Ethiopia to focus on integration into the command structure before getting involved in military engagements. Its admission to the TORAS allowed for an economic miracle to occur in the impoverished nation. Being at the crossroads of all members of the alliance, railways and industry began to spring up all over the country as the need to move goods between the member states was vital.

The Central African Empire joined TORAS on 4 Oct 1979 and is seen as a foolish move by outside observers. The other TORAS Members in declassified documents reveal their increasing disdain for the CAE for being the cause of several international crises. From exacerbating the Cameroon-Chadian Drought, by building Dams near Maikouma and Markounda, preventing water from going into the Chad lake in the 80s dragging TORAS into fierce negotiations with Emperor Bokassa to stop hoarding the water and to fill the dams as slow as possible to alleviate the Cameroon Drought. Using the member states' finances, mostly Yohannia's, to fund Emperor Bokassa's lavish lifestyle and pet projects. In 1994, following blistering rhetoric from Emperor Bokassa telling the remaining members that the CAE doesn't need them; The rest of the members informally began to distance themselves from Emperor Bokassa and began looking towards solving Ethiopia's north-south divide.
